Perhaps someone with a C-720 or 700 can post a unedited sample too? Just to compare the difference. I start getting obvious hot pixels beyond ~2" and increase as its gets longer.
Just e-mailed Olympus and got a quick phone call within one day, said I can bring it down for a check.
Hi.
Night shots with C700 is quite possible, provided you let it rest between shots and try not to use the LCD so much to preview...
In fact, do a search for "Tweek" in Clubsnap or took a look @ his galleries for C700. He has very nice ones, noise free.
Here is one of my night shot with my C700Uz.
It's abit troublesome but i took 1 shot then then turned it off, and chatted with my friend who was tagging along and after about 5 mins, took
another shot.
But the main thing you have to do is you need to be very familiar and comfortable with the C700 so you can go about adjusting the settings in minimum time after the camera finishes "booting up", so that you take that shot in the fastest possible, giving yourself more time to compose the shot.
While you allow the camera to rest, maybe you can try to think of another perspective for taking the shot.
PS: Have the quick release plate mounted on your camera first as well, so you can mount it upon the tripod fast.
