From my experience it depends on *whose* 8MP are you referring to. A 8MP
JPEG (not talking about RAW) produces by 1DM2 far far far better result than a 8MP output from those "prosumer" DC like even Olympus 8080 or Canon Pro 1. Take a few pictures with both sides and you'll know what I'm talking about. And I don't think those "prosumer" produced better image than my Nikkor + Fuji. "Matt" .. . I heard someone say that 8Mp digital cameras were the equivalent to 35mm film quality? Does this mean they have the theoretical equivalent resolution? Are they the equivalent to 35mm? |

I got a Nikon d70 digital SLR 6MP on the basis that the sensor is larger
than the 8mp models even if it's fewer pixels. I'm not really qualified to judge but it seems to me the pics are a bit fuzzy and do not compare to the amazing detail of the 8MP digicams I saw. Another thing I was told is that the metering sensors was way more advanced than the 8MP prosumer cams and I guess I'm hoping it has a better dynamic range and is basically more sensitive and responsive to difficult situations due to the larger sensor. It cost $1000 for the body but then with a lense & extra batteries, a 2g Microdrive that more than doubled the cost. I think I was told that the raw files are more capable of being enlarged than an 8MP though I don't know about that. Another consideration is that the 8MP models are pushing the limit and they have some problems like purple fringing on high contrast edges which is really very annoying and noise level for night shots can be pretty bad for the 8MP prosumer models. I've found that if I just barely get a bad picture in tough lighting with this camera I can process it is photoshop to an amazing degree because there is a lot less noise & the quality is there to work with. This guy has a decent optical viewfinder like a 35mm & it's super fast and light on battery usage so it's no problem to shoot 400 pics in a day-long excusion with room for another couple hundred pics if something else came up. ¤T¸}¤j«L wrote: From my experience it depends on *whose* 8MP are you referring to.
