Fuji X10: macro at iso 800

Beehive Ginger, Zingiber spectabile, Roma street parkland, Brisbane. January 9, 2012

Hanheld shot in supermacro mode on Fuji X10. The position was very uncomfortable for shooting, and it was windy, so I used iso 800. It was possible to use a lower iso because the shutter speed was 1/800 sec. Other tech for this shot: F3.2, supermacro mode, 12 megapixels mode, noise reduction low. The original OOC was cropped in GIMP, and the unsharpen mask was applied to the flower. Unedited 100% crops from the original image are at the bottom of this post.

My first digital camera, Olympus C2020, had maximum iso 400, maximum shutter speed of 1/800 sec, and just 2 megapixels. It was able to take 320x240 movies at 15 fps. The lens was bright, 2.0-2.8, and it had on optical viewfinder, very much like the Fuji X10. By memory, the price was double of the Fuji X10...
