F8, iso 400? Say what??? *scratching head in confusion*

If this is product photography, DOF only needs to cover the gluestick. The wrinkles in the sheets in the background doesn't need to be crystal clear.

*scratches head in confusion again*

You can easily get results like these:

IMAGE NOT FOUND

Clearly I'm not even trying to do product photography with these but knowing the conditions, proper setup, lighting, settings, etc... can yield much better results.

The camera is a tool and certainly has its limitations... but landscape, portrait, and especially product photography where you have time to set the environment, the pro1 can easily excel on. If we're talking about low-light/night-time sports photography, then yes, pro1 falls way short in that department. But in this instance, it is clearly operator error.

Unless your in range and have strong flash.

Nikolai,

you should be aware that f/8 is not needed with a small sensor. In fact, it's actually bad to use such a small aperture, because it is not as sharp as f/5.6 because of diffraction.

The 'sweet spot' of the lens should be somewhere around f/5.0 or f/5.6 ... meaning that this gives you the sharpest pictures.

Like Julian suggested, try using something around f/3.2 - f/4.0 to get the object clearly in focus and maybe render the background a little bit out of focus.

Best regards,
Andy

um lets see.....

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH

what do you expect? they tried to squeeze 8mp out of the same size sensor that 1mp cameras have.

p&s cameras (yes the pro 1 is a point and shoot), especially the pro 1 blow above 50 iso.

Here's the comparison:

The sensor of the Pro1 is a bit larger than that of the G6.

I love that graphic!

Anyway - two words - Neat Image. It saved me from the horrors of high ISO noise on my G3, check it out on www.neatimage.com (external link)

I have done plenty of product shots on my G3, in fact I did a collection of over 200 candles, whick partly paid for my upgrade. There is nothing wrong with them.

The think the top noise reduction program in terms of quality, usability, and convenience (with Adobe PS plug-in) is Noise Ninja. Newest Pro version is spectacular.
