If memory serves me correctly, early last year, you posted a
similar "Bird of Prey" photo, which I believe was taken with a D7i.
I hope I'm not wrong in my recollection. If I'm correct, could you
post that picture along with the A1 Bird of Prey picture, so we can
get a better idea of color saturation?

Your memory is good! Here is a similiar picture taken with the D7i:

Okay, it is difficult to compare directly because probably there
will be a different color temperature.
Personally i like the straight out of the camera colors of the A1
much better than out of the D7i. On the other hand it is not a big
job to adjust
the colors of the D7i.
Significant differences are with extern flashes (i.g. studio
strobes). Here the
A1 is definately better. The D7i (at least my one) had an wrong
color balance.

Hi Andreas,

Thanks a million for taking the time to dig that earlier photo out of your archives and again post it. It does help to compare the two, even though as you stated the color temperature will differ. When I viewed the recent photos posted by Phil ASKEY, I for the first time suspected the A1 did a much better job of color saturation than the D7XX (Mine, like yours is/was a 7i). I too through post processing, in addition to adjusting levels, make slight/minor adjustments to contrast/saturation. I agree that the A1 appears less "Flat" right out of the camera. Definitely an improvement.

I found it interesting that the A1 caused you to resurface. I wondered what happened to you. Back when I first discovered this forum last year, I really enjoyed your posts of different Birds of Prey. You take excellant photographs, and you do great honor to your subject matter.

Again, thanks for responding. Take care.

Thanks for sharing these very nice pictures, I download them "au fur et a mesure" !

Just a question you probably answered before, how do you make this black background, I suppose it's by selection in PS, but the selection seems so fine and precise, are you using standard PS tools or a third party plug-in ?
Are you having a personal gallery somewhere ?

Hi Andreas

I currently have a 7I and was wondering if the new A1 displays less noise in its photo's.

And do you think its worth the cost to upgrade from the 7I to the A1

Thank you

Andreas P. · Sep 26, 2003

Hi,

No this is not an effect by postprocessing. The background is already dark.
So by waiting for the correct position of the sun it appears black.

Regards,

Andreas

That's good to know.

The A1 (as the D7 series) offers so much presets (contrast,
saturation etc) that you (if you want) store your favorite setups
and have a minimal postprocessing work.

I would say the A1 shows less (slightly) noise than the D7i.

Hmh, this is difficult. Personally i would say definately yes when you don't
take the price into account because in the moment the price of the
A1 is quite high.

I always have been fascinated by the feature set of the Dimage series.

As an all in one solution it is a really great cam. I have a 10D too which has its specific advantages but also disadvantages.

Oh sorry. I thought you were refering to the bird. No these other photos (vegetables) were done with a black sheet as background

(Unfortunately with a lot of white hairs from my cat).
