Comparison using 2 A1's and firmware update 1.02/1.13 today

Go to last post
To be honest, I never experienced the 'hit and miss' that was supposed to be an A2 trait. Mine has always performed superbly.

However, it is the fact that my A1 now appears to have the same speed as my A2 and some of the plus points you mention that makes one wonder why I ever felt the need to 'upgrade'!
Ah well, I'll just have to live with owning TWO of the best cameras around... ;)

I was wondering how the A2 performed in RAW with Rawshooter and if you get the same pixel level sharpness when resized down a couple of Mp as I did with the A1 in my thread detailing use with RSE ..

as a 4Mp RAW cam, the A1 rocks beyond imagination (especially if you're used to the results from the JPG engine) , I was wondering if the A2 performs similar as a 6Mp RAW cam if you know what I mean - The downsizing averages out noise and other artifacts and believe it or not, the resultant 4Mp A1 RSE image prints better than it would had I left it at 5Mp which doesn't make sense I know but it works..

You mention 1 camera has been used for 1400 exposures & the other 6000. Just wondering if that is a guesstimate of the number of exposures or can you extract this information somhow?
 
I know to what you refer and, though I haven't done it myself your thread has inspired me to try!

You never know, it may be the best way to process images which I would then create as a fixed action in Photoshop (haven't got RAWshooter) to repeat on all my RAW images.

Until then. I will probably carry on as before, knowing in my heart that the A1 is most likely the better camera but my mad 'newer-is-better' head won't let me use it instead of the A2!!!
 
The Ax has an image counter that sequentially numbers each image it has taken from day one. Except that it rolls over after 9999.

How do you view this total frame count? I have played with various menu settings & studied the manual, still cann't see it.
Am I being a bit dense?
 
More dense-ness.........

Yes, I see the images are numbered. But if I take 30 exposures & transfer from the card to the PC & wipe the card the next load of photos start at zero again.
Am I missing something obvious?
 
Thanks Peter
One of those things you can't see for looking!
Menu reset and counting upwards.
