"Matt" wrote in message ... 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? Yes. No. Yes. No. Yesnoyesnoyesnoyesno..... There. I just saved us all from an entire thread of a tired old argument! Whew!!! Yippeee! |

"Bill Hilton" wrote in message ... From: paul 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. Run USM on the files ... Canon suggests 300%, .3 radius, 0 threshold to restore the sharpness lost via the AA filter ... probably similar with Nikon. That's interesting. I have not heard of this recommendation, but that is just about exactly what my typical settings are for general, quick sharpening jobs on my 10D files....though I tend to set it only up around 220-250. |

It's like saying that playing a Mp3 file on a portable device is the same as listening to the original high quality recording on a high-end stereo: The basic measurements are the same (frequency response, s/n ratio), but does it sound the same? Some people might not notice any difference, especially if they only listen to electronic or synthesized nusic. Others will hear a great difference, and consider the Mp3 as the audio equivalent of eating rancid butter. So it all comes down to your needs, perceptions and tastes. |
