Slightly dissapointed thread
Discussion
Ive been using my Fuji S5600 since xmas and although I love the compplexity in comparison to my old point and click camera and love the fact that I can use filters and things, I am rather dissapointed at the quality of photos it produces!
I can get some good shots with it, this weekend I managed to snap some good static car shots at the TVR meeting.
The only problem is, the camera seems to produce a massive amount of noise and speckling...something which I know you get with Jpegs, but compared to the little 3.2MP Fuji A330, its ridiculous!
Is there any way of avoiding this speckling??
How come the supposed higher end S5600 does it to a higher degree over my entry level A330 P&C???
Any advice would be highly welcomed

Right, dropping the ISO to 64 has improved it, but its still there
There was an image setting which can be set between Sharp, Standard or Soft
Soft makes it looks like through the eyes of a pisshead, and it was on sharp...which didnt help!
Its currently on the highest setting which is 5m Fine at 2592x1944 pixels
The options are
5mp Fine & 5mp Normal - 2592 X 1944 Pixels
3:2 - 2736 X 1824
3mp - 2048 X 1536
2mp - 1600 X 1200
0.3mp - 640 X 480
RAW When converted 3648 X 2736 (28mb each)
Would it be recommended to actually drop the quality settings to reduce noise via a smaller photo?????

I assume you are taking photos in full manual mode? Fuji's cameras can adjust things behind the scenes to be 'helpful' in some of the auto modes.
Sharp settings induce jpeg artefacts (jaggies and speckles around edges). Soft stops the camera from putting any processing on, removing the problem, but then you need to sharpen the photos in your editing software on your PC (it can do a much better job than the camera does).

Why does the Exif info of those pictures show....
5MP Fine - ISO64 (Shows correct ISO)
5MP Fine - ISO200 (Shows ISO 400)
5MP Fine - ISO400 (Shows ISO 800)
5MP Fine - ISO800 (Shows ISO 800)
Sure there's a simple answer...?

Ive probably cocked up...been a bit off it today!
Anyway, the suggestions on here have actually helped...I'll use this camera as a stop gap until something better can be had
How do you find the exif data?
The exposures are different to every picture.
Oh and I look at the Exif data with this handy plug in... http://ted.mielczarek.org/code/mozill

something isnt right there
your iso 64 image is much brighter than your iso800 image, you said you used manual so did you alter your shutter speed for each or just the iso?

Yes I did
Obviously, with the settings as I had them, once the ISO was increased a notch I changed the shutter speed and exposure to compensate
Ive probably made a complete cock of it all...Im not entirely with it at the moment and Im stone cold sober :scratcchin:
