There's always a question mark over the ability of 4/3rds cameras to work in low light and the question of how effective in body IS actually is. Low light performance isn't of particular interest to me but I had the opportunity to work in a situation that on the face of it isn't the best place to use an E-3.

This shot was taken handheld using the Zuiko 50-200 f/2.8. The properties are 200mm @ f/3.5, 1/25th, ISO400, IS ON.

I should have used ISO800 as I didn't manage to freeze the guitarists hand at 1/25 but in any case IMO it doesn't detract unduly from the shot. The images were primarily for web use so absolute IQ wasn't required. I was pretty pleased with the shot TBH.

The shot below was taken at ISO1600, 200mm @ f/3.5 1/100, IS ON. Again Handheld.

The shot below is simply to illustrate the level of light available.

Good as Full Frame? absolutely not, Useable? I think so, more importantly so did the guys I was shooting for. I haven't had any of the shots printed but it may be worth having a few done at 20"x16" just to see how they hold up.

I thought it was intentional blur.

Quality costs and i think the point you make is the images you have taken could be used in promotion, newspapers etc. At the size they would be used FF is less of an argument re sensor size.

Did you? Oh right well of course the blur was intentional
