Was out of town when you posted this, Rick, and my stupid cell-phone didn't show the picture. The idea is great. Emphasis through sharpness/micro-contrast . . . My own thought is that if the whole ...

Quite profound, that, Laurence. :-)

Reminds me of 'Crocodile Dundee in New York' . .  ("Knife??") ;-) +1 on the articulating LCD though . .

Thank you, Paul, for sharing that with us. I shoot all-manual and often have trouble focusing manually with the SD14. I had never consider racking and the direction thereof. Instead, I've been ...

That was exactly my experience with the SD1M and it continues with the SD14. My poor solution is to fit a 1.34X magnifier and that only helps a bit although it does bring the diopter correct to ...

unless you peep . . OOC at left . . :-D downsizing (faststone, lanczos3) to view on my screen evens up the score a bit and passes the advantage to spp + post processing, i reckon: to those who ...

foveon already had that capability from day 1 (potentially) with their VPS binning system. take a Merrill and bin the lower layers 2x2 - voilá - instant quattro sensor ;-) [edit] What if we: extrac ...

mick there is no "box" to tick as far as i know have you been to your settings and pushed some buttons yet . .

say 5004x3336px . . and a healthy dose of "denovation": raw only with optional 4:4:4 (1x1) extractable full-size embedded JPEG (but always half-size 4:2:0 for the initial review image) no stupid ...

subject at hand is a proposed Merrill 1:1:1 ff sensor no comment Richard, sorry. why are you talking about the Q when the thread and i were talking about the Merrill?

one of you gentlemen has fallen into the trap of relating various MP "sizes" to Foveon's VPS system which only allows integer step s for the number of pixels to be binned: http://www.foveon.com/art ...

the suggestion implies that Sigma's fab can make a 1:1:1 sensor with a 2.8um pixel pitch - just over half that of the Merrill . . glad you said 'if', Barrie ;-)

"Come now Ted" about does it for me . .

Les, you might get better results by aligning your images in a program like 'hugin' and then fusing them. really the x3i system is a greatly simplified version of what apps like TuFuse Pro or ...

[sarcasm deleted] sorry mick

indeed. the term 'highlight recovery' always bothers me a little. the lore is almost as if totally blown raw data can somehow be restored in spp. i think that folks who shoot at iso's higher than ...

yes for over 60 years now.

after being castigated recently for excessive pedantry and technicality i humbly apologize in advance for noticing that they illustrated the quattro 1:1:4 sensor with foveons good old 1:1:1 ...
