The real test of a digital pictures quality

Take the digital files to a shop that has direct digital printing and have them printed. This is what I did and the digital prints are sharper with better colours the my film camera.

Hmm; what film camera do you have ? It is not as black and white as you put it...

My real gist of the subject is. Not to just use the computer screen or a inkjet print, to judge the picture quality of a digital camera.

Hi all,

I shoot 35mm generally with reala100 and superia200 film on a Nikon FA/voigtlander bessa and develop with jessops' diamond laser here in the UK. I understand diamond laser pictures are printed 'digitally' i.e. the negs are scanned and digital images are printed from these, all within a 'fuji frontier' machine.

I have to say, pictures from my 35mm equipment (via diamond laser printing) even at 6x4, come out sharper and with slightly more detail than the pictures Ive developed straight from my canon G5. The G5 pictures have fantastic colour accuracy, but they lack the pin sharp punch I get from 35mm.

Not sure what the catch is here - most probably its a combination of the lens on the G5 not being as sharp as on the 35mm cameras and the scanner used within the fuji machine is of very high resolution. Anyhow, thats my opinion - anyone care to share theirs?

regards.

You've obviously never seen the output of today's top of the line photo inkjets. My i950 output beats those commercial printers any day of the week.

Not quite but it is close. The Fuji Frontier with a knowledgeable operator will still produce higher quality prints.

Also check out prints on Kodak's Endura Metallic paper. If you need eye-catching, you're not gonna get any better than this.
