First Contax N Digital samples online
Kyocera
Japan has today posted three sample images from the much awaited six megapixel
full-frame sensor Contax N Digital. These three samples are available
on the Kyocera Japan website, all were taken at either ISO 25 or ISO 50
(which is a little concerning). Although these images look good reduced
in size but are not as sharp or detailed as images from the Canon EOS-D60,
Nikon D100 or Nikon D1x.
UPDATE 15/May: Kyocera has pulled these samples
from their website. The thumbnails are still there (click
here) but the images are no longer available for download.
UPDATE: I'm not sure what Kyocera are doing but
they have pulled the full resolution images and replaced them with much
smaller resolution images. This ISN'T inspiring confidence in the quality
of this new camera.

Notes: All shots taken in sRGB colour space, image size 3008 x 2008,
taken in TIFF mode and re-saved as JPEG (by Kyocera).
