It's not just the noise, Lawrence, to be honest. I was trying to emphasize the positive in my first post.
The details have been destroyed on the bird and there are blown highlights on it because the 1" sensor's dynamic range isn't up to it.
I'm sure you can see it just doesn't look like other people's photos.
But I'm glad they have helped a young person develop an interest in this great hobby of ours anyway. They're much better off creating pictures than playing Xbox.
I have a good understanding of that sensor's advantages and limitations. I own more of them than you!
I also own a Canon bridge camera that has a massive 65x zoom range, lousy IQ but fine for IDing. No mythbusting achieved with it, either.
