Do you hear hoofbeats? (artistic vs. scientific resolution)

In reply to Erik Magnuson, 5 months ago

The difference is "can I tell if the animal is a zebra?" vs. "I can guarantee that if the animal is a zebra, I can count all it's stripes." The latter is what Nyquist resolution guarantees, the former is what most photographers want.

Fuzzy, would I be better off cropping to 4 meg with the C3 or using a 1", 10 meg sensor	Jerry R	5 months ago

Jp2, Isn't the Nyquist limit a sampling minimum required to resolve frequency (see Shanahan's proff)	Jerry R	5 months ago
ProfHankD, I have some good prime lenses, but I would guess their resolution would be wanting	Jerry R	5 months ago
For artistic photographic purposes we do not need Nyquist-limited resolution	Erik Magnuson	5 months ago
Erik, you point is correct, the sensor is sampling the lens. Over sampling is a benefit.	Jerry R	5 months ago
