I took a look but I am not impressed at all. The lights are washed out and the darks show no detail.

This is excactly what the new sensor should improve but these pic's show little proof of that.

Looking at the EXIF data on some of these shots they're looking to be shot at ISO 200, but it seems like the noise is a bit high on some of the shots. Some shots seem to have good detail were others are not as detailed, could this be an Autofocus issue? Dont recall seeing a sharpening setting in the EXIF data.

I think the best shot of the bunch detail wise and color range was 13.

Is this sensor supposed to provide more detail in the blacks?

That's a good question. It depends on whether the sensitive sensors are over-exposed to contribute to the combined image.

I haven't seen these pictures, by the way.

The colors don't have the sharp seperation either. Look more like painting to me. What do you think?

I've just printed all the pictures and they look very good in print which is good enough for me.

They still have that problem with reds which looks to be common Fuji-ism.

I find it hard to assess picture quality without a direct comparison, but at first impression, the pictures don't impress me. Fuji appeared to include a lot of high contrast pictures to demonstrate their point, but the pictures aren't impressive without a sense of what the 3rd generation sensor would have produced.

Here are the full-sized versions of the "rigged" comparisons that we've seen:

So, why do they post more pictures on the German sites?!

Woops, I don't know my languages.

Anyway, of these comparisons, the only picture from the F700 that seems to demonstrate increased dynamic range is the last one with the hats. I can see better detail in both the white cloth and black hat. All the other pictures look simply darker or brighter, exposing different details in the bright and shadow spots accordingly.

I was going to buy this camera and when I saw these pics, I decided to go Canon S50. There is no comparison. Save your money and buy the S50 or another cam. The pixel thing is a hype.

 

[Ricky Kwan]

Hmm, don't look too impressive...why is there so much noise in the sample pics?

But, i won't come to any conclusions the F700 is released.

 

[EddyB]

Hey guys and gals.

Something I noticed, download the pics and view the EXIF data. If you look at the later shots like 13+ they're shot with a newer Firmware rev 2.0 vs the 1.0 on the model shots. The rev 2.0 shots look better but they still have lots of noise in the shots are not very sharp (optics?).

BTW My 2800 was at rev 7.0 so I dont think this is the final word.

Well, the later shots were also indoor, low-contrast shots. So, can the firmware be upgraded on these cameras after they're released? Have any of you upgraded your camera with noticeable improvement?

I notice that there's a fair amount of chromatic aberration, (I think that's what it's called - purple/blue outline on some surfaces). I downloaded the first picture on the upper left - the column has heavy purple/blue aberration. I'm also not overly impressed with the sharpness of the pictures - considering these are from FujiFilm one would think they'ds put their best foot forward. If this is the best, I'll pass.

I agree 100% Eric, it's everywhere. Around the models' hair, around the edges of the flowers, along the trousers in one shot, a pillar in another.....

It might be blooming or CA but either way it's bad. There really isn't need for that in this kind of contrast.

Furthermore, these images are soft to say the least. The eyes are almost fuzzy and indistinct. Skin tones are awful.
And is there really 2 stops more range??? I don't think so.

If these are representative of the finished article, forget it. If not, why bother to present them.

So, to all of you who are complaining about the sample F700 pics and have an F601 or F602, do you think these pictures are a step down from your camera? I don't own a Fuji, so I can't compare. I heard that some of the artifacts at 1:1 are from the interpolation and can't be seen in the prints at regular sizes.

I thought the 410 pics were overall better quality than the 700's. Maybe the 310 will be a nice surprise with the HR ccd.
