Just looking at them on the screen, I wasn't that impressed. I would
be interested in seeing an uncompressed sample, and then the same shot on film. |

No, I wasn't too impressed if that were the final product but I was bearing in mind that if this were a full-size shot then it would not be very detailed and sharp because the net resolution would be a combination of the sensor resolution and the lens resolution. If it were cut down to 3/4 width and height, where it should show good detail, then I imagine it would look good, though I don't have an editor to handle an image of that size. This is something people forget about with digital cameras - i.e. that the full size picture is not capable of being very sharp and detailed because of this combination of resolutions. But the bigger format the better, resolution wise, because the combination of resolutions brings you closer to the sensor resolution. Actually, now I think about it, it should have been a lot sharper and more detailed as just explained. I don't think that could beat slide film from a MF film camera. But then if you tried to convert the slide film into digital.... well, that's another story. Perhaps I should add that even if I had money to burn, those example photos would not tempt me to buy that camera. Which is not to say that better sample photos are not possible. |

I've done quite a bit of scanning with the Nikon LS-8000, and some with
the Imacon 848. At the size of these examples, you would see *ALOT* more detail than from the Mamiya. I wonder how much of the crappiness is due to JPEG compression? Maybe a RAW file would be dramatically better? I know very little about digicams. (my username appears to have switched after subscribing to this group. = hassy_user) |

Littleboy Tokyo, Japan How sharp was the one of the mountain? I see it now. Not bad. I wonder how big a print it could do and still look sharp at standard viewing distance. Doesn't "standard viewing distance" change with the size of the print? |
