Another photo rejected by SS
HappyBunny:
I had one photo accepted and one rejected. My camera makes noisy photos with it's one inch sensor. Today I had to pull the noise removal slider all the way to 70 in Lightroom and there is still noise. Is it possible that this is the reason that my photos look soft? My peanut cookies started to look all like plastic. My old camera has an even smaller sensor but makes less noisy photos. I am starting to hate the Sony RX100M3 camera. My old camera was half the price and is better. I pulled the sharpening slider to 35. There is still noise. To remove it all I would have to set the noise removal to 90. Is there a better but still lightweight camera that's suitable and doesn't produce so much noise?
Fudio:
Did they reject it specifically for noise or another technical issue such as overdoing the filter which would definitely account for the "plasticy" look. I have the RX10 iii which I believe has the same sensor. I use it primarily for video but the holiday snaps I also use it for are just fine. In fact it handles shadow noise much better than my full frame.
What kind of noise are you getting? Exposure settings? Lighting?
HappyBunny:
Rejection reason: soft focus. One photo got rejected for still having noise even though others have accepted it and I didn't see any noise in it. Had to zoom to 200% to see maybe a tiny bit. I removed that last bit and image was accepted. The sunrise images are bad. This was taken with less light in my kitchen. ISO 80. I never higher.

So why are we talking about noise then?
HappyBunny:
I don't think the RX10iii is the same camera. Yours is a very expensive bridge camera. Well, I don't know but I didn't pay 1350. My camera was retail price 800. Just saw your message. My question is if the heavy noise removal can come cause the soft focus. How can a stack of pancakes have soft focus? A small stack. Not even that high. I took it with f8. I zoomed in to 200% to see a little bit of softness. Just not super sharp but not blurry. Do I need to sharpen more?
