Bo11ocks back. I said a D3X, NOT an A900. Same sensor but very different output.
No - Haven't used an SD1. I'm not part of the innter circle, nor am I privileged enough to have been given one.

My point is, that no matter how rubbish the images are, the shills will not be able to see jaggies etc.
Because you say so?
Where I come from, such statements need to be backed with some type of empirical evidence.
You're a very funny man, Kendall. You don't moonlight as a stand-up comedian, by any chance?
True. True. There are those who don't care for anything BUT guesswork though ;-)
I certainly don't believe anyone has suggested your discussion should be disallowed. I, and others have suggested the participants will be limited in number, is all.
Unless you're using an SD1, of course.
(Tongue firmly planted in cheek).

Don't bit my head off, but I saw the images from the SD1 you posted (they were fine) but I'm absolutely buggered if I could see any difference between those images and the images you have previously posted from your other Sigma cameras.
The brutal truth is that an extra $6k or so is NOT going to make anyone's photos look like magic.

For what it's worth, I can see a difference. And the truly brutal truth is that the SD1 images I posted were crops.
Rightoh. Whatever you say.

The 'Highlight Correction' slider works only in 'clipped' areas, like overexposed skies. (Best visible after trying to save the sky with fill light or after pulling down exposure.)
Unfortunately it can produce color cast.

Don't blame me if you're not able to see the difference.
(In my opinion this is not really a good qualification to discuss about image quality of cameras)
A little help: load the images into photoshop (two layers) and switch pictures.
I rather enjoy taking pictures and spending minimal time tweaking them on the computer. I do not want to spend my days tooling about with the files to make them presentable. Presentable straight out of the camera is preferable.
Lately I am tending towards the use of landscape. Since 5.2 you don't loose so much highlights anymore as before. I like the punch it gives. I do dial the contrast sometimes a bit down though.
Try it just for fun... The difference can enormous.I also only output JPG from Aperture, not SPP (I had not noticed posterization from that).Same here but ProPhotoRGB. Any big difference you've found between the two? I stopped using the JPG output from SPP altogether. It produces really bad posterization artifacts
OK, same here.

That's really interesting, I had not noticed that before... I'll have to experiment further and see when it introduces color casts. It seemed like it was neutral to me...The 'Highlight Correction' slider works only in 'clipped' areas, like overexposed skies.

It doesn't give you back lost highlights but the clipping gets smoother.
Thats all i want to show. whether you like it or not

sorry, but thinking i dont uderstand...you mean in the first from left to right, the clipping gets smoother? i hope im getting it wrong....or do you mean the other two (without highlight correction) are better, smoother....? (IMO are much better than the first one)

The left one is the original (standard) position.
The middle is corrected using "neutralize" position.
And the right one is after removing the color cast in photoshop.
Without this slider it would look like the left (first) sample.
