  • Well, there's what you say, and there are the wide open pics on FF in the link immediately below, and, from where I sit, the pics tell a rather different story than you do.
  • I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. My comment, that you quoted above, was in reply to your comment that: ...noise has really become a thing of the past and can be easily removed or...
  • Replied in Good grief.
    *Sigh*
  • ...repost it all as a new thread in the Photographic Science and Technology Forum, and I can debunk your post there, as opposed to going off on a tangent here. See you there!
  • Replied in EF mount D800
    QE is important anytime you are above base ISO. Not a fan of DxOMark's "overall" scores. It's very low with the 6D. No argument with that. Indeed.  Let's hope that Canon's next round of sensors...
  • By your thread title, "Natural Disasters for September 2013", I thought you were going to post links to all your past posts.  But, sure, my bad -- those disasters weren't natural, were they?  :-D
  • But not the same amount of light on the sensor, and it is the total amount of light falling on the sensor, not the intensity of light falling on the sensor, that matters. Then your FZ200 should...
  • Mikael has contributed many valuable technical examples displaying the superiority of the Sony Exmor sensors over Canon sensors in terms of read noise (and thus DR) at base ISO. By the way, as you...
  • Replied in This is easy.
    Short answer:  no. Long answer:  Take 2 pics of the same scene with the same perspective, framing, focal point, and aperture diameter (aperture diameter = focal length / f-ratio).  Display the...
  • The 5D3 and 6D sensors have double the QE of the 20D sensor, and the 6D has negligible banding. Canon's sensors are great, it's the ADC that's holding them back.  If they can manage the same ADC...
  • Replied in Nope.
    Not so obvious to me, as the D800 is being viewed with greater enlargement.  Upsample the D600 file to the same dimensions as the D800 file and compare.  I think you'll find the differences to be...
  • Still, the 75 / 1.8 is one helluva lens on mFT, and IBIS is a nice plus.  Not to mention it's a lot smaller than a 135 / 2 on FF. In short, in terms of the visual properties of the photo, 75mm...
  • ...then wouldn't the FF photographer be using a 70-200 / 4L IS instead? It weighs and costs basically the same as a 135 / 2L, has IS, and zooms?  And yet, some choose the 135 / 2L (and some choose...
  • Then they'd be blown away by what an RX100 could do, or the prints are so small that the IQ advantage of the RX100 is overkill.  Still, I wonder if they'd stop you at the door with a "professional"...
  • ..."what more do you want", what's better than a rose on a piano?  ;-)
  • And then what would I do for entertainment? It's my good that we're interested in! If you abort them, before or after they're born, then there won't be any need for food stamps.
  • Replied in BAM!
    Exactly correct.
  • Replied in Nope.
    Yes. "Need" is a strong word.  More pixels, all else equal, will always result in a photo with "higher IQ", even when competently downsized (e.g., not a "nearest neighbor" downsizing algorithm)...
  • ...DUSTY can be your running mate.  I can't see the downside, myself. :-D
  • Well, if she has a butter face, then the helmet helps, so a bike is sometimes the better choice.
