Not sure the following question makes sense: If you made a DNG file, say in LR2, and convert it using LR4, would you get the current LR4 quality as described in this review or, would the quality remains LR2?
When I upgraded from LR2 to 3 and now 4, and from Capture One Pro 3 to 7, I can say that my older RAW images got a real boost in quality. I was wondering if the same happens with DNG files.
BTW, the negative of this situation is that I am tempted to reprocess some older images... when I have the time.
photo_rb: Couple things I didn't see when skiming through the article. First Capture One has the ability to output a number of different formats at the same time. Just choose them, click develop, and walk away. As far as I can see with Lightroom, you have to output each one separately which takes time.
Also the keystone correction tool in Capture One is brilliant and anyone doing architectural photography should look at it, even if they use a shift lens as you don't always get the camera level.
I saw none of these features noted. I use both C1 and LR4. But, in most cases, I do the RAW conversion in C1, using LR4 as mostly a keywording application and permanent storage catalog. I am still not comfortable with Capture One database.
A good analysis, though, and I am pleased to see that your mileage may vary. I am wondering about the selection of software. What was it based on?
EssexAsh: can you put a catalog on a network drive yet so that multiple devices can connect in to it?
Well explained. I would not consider SQLite as a strong contender for multiuser applications. One can develop locking mechanisms for it, though, within the internal to the application, like Capture One is now doing with the same db, I believe.
There is a market for a well designed, multi user database system for storing and cataloguing pictures and other media. I am still looking. One of its features could be storing various metadata, depending on the application used to create it (like XMP for LT or CO for Capture One.)
Thanks for your information.
Jefftan: Can some Capture One user explain how this is better than lightroom?
better color?
I have heard NR is not as good
Just curious on how anyone can say that LR4 is better than C1 Version 7 just announced?
JackM: Seriously who buys red cameras? I have never seen one in the wild.
My wife's feelings are now deeply hurt!
peevee1: EOS M with the adapter seems like a good backup camera for a professional with 7D, not taking too much space and weight (although I don't know how much the adapter weighs). But as an only system in your home, there are much, MUCH better choices from Olympus, Panasonic, Sony and Samsung.
I agree. But if your are a Canon System user, it makes a lot of sens... The G1 X was interesting, this one is worth a double, triple look. A tad steep. price wise. I like the external flash - almost a must on such a small body with these HUGE lenses (not counting any lens hood.
I need one...
M1963: The madness has gone too far. Phones are for phoning (and texting, OK), cameras are for photographing. The sample image on flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/nokiaofficial/6788333052/sizes/o/in/photostream/) is appalling: it's unsharp and noisy. I don't even care if it's far better than any other cell phone at shooting. It's a bad image, that's all there is to it. If you want to make photos, buy a camera, not a phone.
And no, I'm not 108 years old...
Maybe... the concept of binning using large pixel sensors is interesting, though. I can see some P&S looking at this 'solution' and I can also see, despite your comments, a large crowd of people happy to use whatever is available to take pictures... and that may include phone...smile you are on camera!!!
