The sensor on most point and shoot cameras produce grainy pictures at even moderate ISO settings. It takes a pro level D-SLR to get truly superb, grain free low light and shadow performance. Some perform well at levels as high as ISO 6400.
Brad, I am sorry that I said anything. You are right about the pictures and how they were overexposed.
You got it. And thanks. I, too, wasn’t knocking this light one bit. I even stated earlier on that this light for its size at 20,000cd should be close to a TK35 in reference to throw. I am going to buy one of these lights eventually more than likely. But right now I have another maybe on my agenda. But I did want to state here that if I came across like I was tying to belittle the guy here on his photo was not my true intentions. All I want is to try and help when I can when it comes to helping those to take more to lifelike photos for all to see. I wouldn’t be much of a member here had I just set back and let that photo continue to be left up here for all members here to see and not speak up. That would be worse than doing what I did here if that is how you wish to perceive what I did. Again, not what I wanted to do, nor did I want to have to say it. But I felt obligated to do so out of respect to others here that may buy this light due to that photo alone that in my honest opinion look like a TK70 beam the way it lit up that field. Another member I just spoke with earlier agreed and said the same thing. And trust me I know what a TK70 beam looks like and will do to a field like that.
So with that, I hope Flashlight Man sees that my intentions were meant to be true. And I hope he continues to post photos. Heck maybe one day I will be getting help from him to make my photos better.

Rick, do not argue with Brad, it's not worth it! lol!
P.S. Brad, you're ok in my book :)
Rick,
Water under the bridge buddy. 
I love it! I finally got my neutral EA4 and it is amazing. This thing illuminates everything with lots of horsepower down the middle. The 3C tint is very nice, although I wish it was 4C. Pay no attention to me, the 3C is real nice. I never even knew what a tint snob was until I joined this forum, and now I are one.
Compact. Powerful. Uses AA. I nominate the EA4 “Flashlight of the year”.
Sounds good 
Interested to see a comparison between CW and Neutral in the EA4 if anybody has any shots.
Cheers
Matt
Shhhhhhhhh! We’re trying not to mention the “beamshot” word.
ooops, sorry, i forgot about that :bigsmile:
+1 “I nominate the EA4 ”Flashlight of the year” It’s an amazing light!!
Okay. I had four Imedions in the charger doing a complete break in, and they weren’t ready yet, so I grabbed four Eneloop. I didn’t bother to test them , I just threw them in.
After playing with my EA4 for a while off my balcony, mostly on turbo, I noticed the low voltage indicator doing a constant flash. When switching over to the other modes the indicator stopped flashing, but would begin again when I went to turbo. I tested the eneloops under load with my ZTS and showed 60%.
This is good to know. Turbo reminding you that it’s sucking juice, while there is still ample reserve in lower modes.
The voltage indicator that is enabled after you perform the lockout steps gave me five flashes. That indicates Five volts, which makes no sense to me, unless they weren’t long flashes, but short, which would indicate .5 volts. I’ll have to wait for fresh cells and a darker room to try this again. It seems to be the same system used on my EC2 except with AA.
My eyes are kind of dim, so if anyone else wants to give a test of their voltage reading, let me know the outcome.
Yes, they were actually five short flashes which indicate .5V. If it had given me one long and two short it would have indicated 1.2V. I’ve never had a multi AA in series light before so I am curious as to what the starting voltage will be with fresh cells. My Imedions should be ready in the morning, so I’ll do a test while having my morning coffee.
Seriously the x-ml is a beast. I absolutely love this emitter
I was wrong. There are no long flashes. I tried again with fully charged cells, and this is what I got; five short flashes and a pause, then seven more short flashes. I assume this would indicate 5.7V. I kinda like the long and short system used on the EC2 better.
Just got mine and noticed an uneven gap between the body and the bezel. Anyone else notice that? I hope it wasn't cross threaded at the factory. Other than that, this thing is awesome. Can't wait to check it out tonight.
One other thing, there's a rattle coming from the head when I shake it. Seems to be common according to what I've read on cpf..
Glenn,
Mine looks just like yours, I had never noticed that before. You really have to look for it to see it.
Mine has a gap too but it is even all around.
Rick, I noticed it right away. As long as it's not cross-threaded and watertight, I'll be ok with it. I'm kind of afraid to test it for water tightness though. Does yours have a slight rattle when you shake it?
Yep, never noticed that either. You really have to shake it to hear it…
I wonder if its affected by battery brand?
