I know, but some people still think Nikon has no chroma noise or dishing up some explanation like below. These files are both RAW and the .cr2s have noise reduction applied and they show the edge...

Ever compared .cr2s processed in ACR and DPP? I did, results are clear. Also, Nikon RAW files are better processed with ACR than with Capture NX. You have to process the .cr2s with DPP and apply...

A picture book example of how it should be done!

Just because of this vertical wheel and the front wheel being in front of the shutter release. I never can get used to a front wheel being that much "ahead", you always have to move the finger too...

Download the RAWs and do your own comparison. But use DPP for the Canons RAWs and you can apply some chroma noise reduction to the Canons, because Nikon definitely applies that in-RAW, no matter...

6MP for A4 and then double as you step up. But half is okay, too, because 150ppi are enough. Also consider the viewing distance.

Yes, but only if. As long as I don't have this information, I have to take the not scaled version. This is the "basic material". Based on that, I can decide which printing size is suitable...

Stupid example! The point is that the camera/lens combination tells nothing about the picture itself which can be taken - of course - with a lot of other cameras. So what value do I get from this...

OMG…the same applies to detail, how do you want to tell from a 1 MP picture? You can see it in original resolution, but not at 1 MP. What's so difficult to get here? Everybody can try pictures from...

It's not "gear limitation", how do you come to this conclusion?
It's photo manipulation, nothing else. By that, I don't want to say something against it.

The majority of people needs 3 MP, max 6 MP. That would be DIN 4A at 300 ppi or roughly 8x10". Even 3 MP is okay for that size.

Splendid!!!

Scaled down pictures can never "tell the noise story", when do people get this?

Another title could be: Nikon D7100 (insert any other camera) + Sigma 10-20 (insert any other lens): WOW!

You don't get, do you? It's 1 MP, not 20 MP, so of course there's no noise to see. Where are you from, DXO?!

What some guys are sure about, fascinating…

Lack of noise, yeah? Sorry, but what's the name of the parallel world you live in? This picture is only 1MP scaled down from 20MP. Of course you see not much noise in it.

What is strange is that I get better results for the D7100 when I process the RAW files myself, especially regarding color noise.

Da gibt es ja den netten Traumflieger AF-Test mit der Spielzeugautobahn, totaler Mist, weil die relative Geschwindigkeit der Autos so schnell ist und diese auch so plötzlich auftauchen, dass jedes...

Did you watch the movie? Especially from minute 27 to 29, roughly? Where for anyone's sake is the Panasonic 5x faster? And, final question: Which movie did you see, or have you been drunk?
