That is a beautiful place...

An observation.

To my eyes there is huge difference in picture quality. What do you think? I definately think that the jpeg engine in the Olympus is superior, but looking at the exif I notice things are not equal.
#1:
f/8 1/40 ExpComp:-1.3
#2:
f/3.2 1/125 ExpComp:-.3

I was having a hard time finding the focal point in #1, but at 1/40 the slightest movest will be detected. I think that is what happened.

There is great bit of differences in the exposure set-ups . Even though I suspect that the 510 will produce a better picture it is hard to say so because of the exposure settings were not near identical.

Thanks for sharing,

Joe

Okay Joe...what does this mean and how did/do you know what it is/was or how she did it???
I found a new bunch of modes on my camera yesterday [Always helps to read instruction manuel doesn't it LOL]
Now I am trying to learn what they do and when best to use them....

#1
f/8 1/40 ExpComp:-1.3
#2:
f/3.2 1/125 ExpComp:-.3

Thanks Joe, You are right about the differences...I think I'll take both cams and have them set up the same as an experimentation...I didn't consider when posting...the settings, but this will be very interestng...I really appreciate your comments as it is very helpful...

In reference to Sydney's question...How do you get the info? When I right click properties it only shows size and dimensions on computer...Always have been curious about that... Thanks for sharing your knowledge....

My Exif viewer tells me all...I just wish it would tell me the lottery numbers. http://www.opanda.com/en/iexif/index.html

Syd-
f/(x) = Aperture
1/(x) = Shutter speed
ExpComp = Exposure Compensation
--"The camera's metering system will sometimes determine the wrong exposure value needed to correctly expose the image. This can be corrected by the "EV Compensation" feature found in prosumer and professional cameras. Typically the EV compensation ranges from -2.0 EV to +2.0 EV with adjustments in steps of 0.5 or 0.3 EV. Some digital SLRs have wider EV compensation ranges, e.g. from -5.0 EV to +5.0 EV.

It is important to understand that increasing the EV compensation by 1 is equivalent to reducing EV by 1 and will therefore double the amount of light. For instance if the camera's automatic mode determined you should be using an aperture of f/8 and a shutterspeed of 1/125s at ISO 100 (13 EV) and the resulting image appears underexposed (e.g. by looking at the histogram), applying a +1.0 EV exposure compensation will cause the camera to use a shutterspeed of 1/60s or an aperture of f/5.6 to allow for more light (12 EV).

Of course, as you become more familiar with your camera's metering system, you can already apply an EV compensation before the shooting. For instance if your camera tends to clip highlights and you are shooting a scene with bright clouds, you may want to set the EV compensation to -0.3 or -0.7 EV."
