Re: An irreverent look at the Quattro vs Merrill thing....

Sorry, but I find your comments are kind of pedantic and unwarranted.

In the first place the post was directed at the OP. I was looking for a quantitative comparison between the SDQ and the D800, the image was posted as a reference point in that respect.

The image is straight out of the camera, zero crop, I posted it merely as an example of the D800's image quality capabilities, that was in my post.

As for the lighting, it was taken hand help outside using a flash and soft box, as for the focal plane, its exactly where i wanted it on the head of the butterfly.

I do agree the image doesn't look sharp posted here, IDK if its the jpg conversion but the tiff looks much better.  I will retry with a high quality jpg on a 100% crop.
