S5 Resolution: Reviews in British Journal of Photography

The British Journal of Photography ( a weekly 'working pro' mag) has just done a two-part review of the S5 Pro. There's a number of points, but of particular interest to the current topic is their findings on resolution.

They compared shots taken at High res (12 Mp - 4256x2848); medium res (6Mp - 3024x2016) and low res (c4mp - 2304x1536). They found that there was genuinely more information in the higher resolution images than in the lower ones, and they did not seem to be achieved by interpolation from a smaler number of pixels. There's a discussion of methodology & expectations, and the conclusion is that at high res the S5 Pro resolved approx 56 lp/mm; 36-40 lp/mm at med res; and 28 lp/mm at low res.

Is their review complete now? I really want to sign up for the free trial period but want to make sure I get to read the entire review and not just the first two parts of how many?

I think its 2 of 2, so it's complete. I have the second part in an issue of the magazine, and I've just signed up for the trial & printed the first part.

if you don't understand I'm sorry I'm dyslexic

nikon d80, d200, sb800 3, 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.8, 12-24
sigma 105mm, 50mm, 70-200 f2.8, 18-50 f2.8
tamron 28-75mm

Finally, someone talking properly about resolution and no megapixels.
A rare finding in these forums and reviews.
I can't wait for the next post asking.
How many megapixels is lp/mm ? ;-)

BJP quite often follow up a camera review with a lens test using a recently reviewed camera, which can be even more informative... there's a Sigma lens test coming up next week, so it's possible the S5 could be used...
