Very good quality can be produced with the 808 and fairly affordable studio equipment. I wonder why they didn't share high rez samples like I did (cf. my post below). I hear the 808 has better IQ...

There is a key in understanding this: input dynamic range. You will see VERY visibly better photographs shot at lower ISO and as there are plenty of them, there is no need to show one here. But all...

Interesting question. I think you see photon shot noise with your own eyes. But because the eye has feature detectors (edges rather than pixels) and because luminance receptors take over (muting...

I guess you mean F/2. But as F is a variable, I guess it is a difficult proposition to be put forward.

This is the comment I left on Nokia's blog:

Thanks for the article. But note that I already reported about PureView studio photography about a year ago:

Mathematically, deconvolution is an unstable operator. Therefore, expect no wonders.

It is most useful with a "perfect" convoluted input signal, i.e., without any noise.

Therefore, DPR's...

I was only wondering if it really was pitch black dark as they claimed. Because fire flies then actually illuminate a scene, I have seen it with my own eyes. But in my actual argument, this plays...

As I said below, the fact that the pixels are large has nothing to do in this. It is that Canon doesn't throw away any pixels for video in this case as they do in their consumer dSLRs.

Look up...

I mean that the typical SLR from Canon or Nikon only reads out a small subset of pixels (aka subsampling) used to create the video signal from.

This is contrasted by supersampling where all pixels...

0.01 lux is -8 EV.

I heavily doubt it was this dark, as it would correspond be about a moonless starry night. But the fireflies then would illuminate the scenery (or their direct surrounding at...

This is one possible approach to decent low light capablity in video.

The other approach is to stop the nonsense to subsample sensors in video mode, reading out maybe 1 out of 6 pixels. This is...

I am sorry, but I cannot read the most important bit from the Adobe release, i.e., that the rental fee is fixed for a lifetime. The Adobe FAQ says:
> Customers who sign up by December 31, 2013 will...

OMG

That's actually a good point. DR is actually a function of spatial frequency (just like in audio) and Bob nicely settled any questions regarding the scaling law DR(f) further down in the thread. f...

Bob, I agree with the formula you applied, but your proof is flawed, I think. The line I left in citation is an assumption you miss to prove. I think one really has to go back and derive the...

If you would have actually read my post you would have found the answer: An uncompressed data format is more robust against data loss with hardware failures. A few lost bits and bytes within a raw...

Never mind, I just missed the SQRT sign and didn't memorize the formula exactly enough. As I am used to a 1/2 factor rather than a SQRT in similiar formulas. My fault. All is well. That's actually...

The answer is correct and I gave it my thumb. Except that it actually is -0.58 stops difference. Just a minor addition ... The effect is identical to multiply ISO (in your mind) with 36/24. So, set...

Hi Ben, we know each other from our Pentax times and I thought you may find it useful to know my answer on this. As others have said, there is NO information difference between 14Bit full and 14Bit...
