I think that Arvo and Joerg gave me the answer I was looking for.  Yes, I always buy on the cheap.  I wasn't aware of the different technologies.  My little bead business pays me less than $15,000...

People's responses are certainly perplexing to me.  I decided to look at my gray and blue screens again, and what I saw was a little surprising.  The effect is more subtle during the daytime when...

When I started using an LCD monitor two years ago, I thought I was moving into a world of better picture quality, but that hasn't been the case.  All LCD monitors seem to have the same defect:  The...

When I click on More Options, nothing happens.  That link (or button, if you prefer to call it that) is not active on my computer.

I tried to edit my post but couldn't figure out how.  What I intended to add is that I am talking about viewing images at 100%.  Now, what does that mean?  I've always thought that it meant viewing...

In the early days of digital photography, Canon had the best image quality, but that has changed. Their recent cameras produce images that are too soft and over-processed. I'm sure this camera...

I don't mean to hijack my own thread by bringing up this topic again, but the difference between looking at an image onscreen and an image that has been printed is very interesting.  Whereas the...

I'm a big fan of Sigma/Foveon technology, so no one should think that I'm trying to stir up controversy here. Sigma images often look surreal to me.  I'll be looking at an image at 100%, and I'll...

The sensor size of the Hasselblad is twice the size of the Sigma, yet the crops are the same size -- why is that?  Was the Hasselblad shot down-rezzed, or was the Sigma shot up-rezzed?  The article...

I really appreciate your post for a lot of reasons.First, I'm intending to buy the camera, and your post reassures me that it isn't as bad as the reviewers say.  Reviewers, I believe, come to...

I don't own any Sigma cameras, but in my preparation to buy one, I've looked at dozens of Sigma images.  Curiously, I came to the conclusion that the colors of the JPG images might be more accurate...

This is an old thread, but I'll still add my 2 cents.My experience is that you can't tell a lot from macro images.  Most cameras can display impressive details when shooting things close up.  The...

Resolution matters because most people don't print their images any more.  I'll bet that only 1% of the images taken today are ever printed.  Most people just keep them on their computer.  And if...

I must say, it's disappointing to read all these mentions about banding in the sky.  Does anyone know what the technical causes are?

Do I have to join your forum before I can see any posts?  Before joining, I'd like to see what kinds of discussions are going on.

There's something wrong with that crop.  It's blurry.  The actual crops look better when you use the comparison applet.

It's possible to do both, of course.  I switch back and forth between pixel-peeping and looking at the entire image.  Here's an image that I love to look at the details of; they are absolutely...

It seems to me that what's coming out of this discussion is that we are all basically in agreement that DPR should not be limiting access to the SD1 images, whether or not they have a seemingly...

You've done something to the SD1 picture.  When I call up the same pictures in the comparison applet, the SD1 image looks much better to me.  You can see the horizontal lines clearly in the center...

What you're talking about now is the actual area of each pixel on the sensor, right?  That's something I've never gotten into.  I'm aware that the smaller the area of each pixel, the less light it...
