EOS-1D Mark III outperformed by 35mm disposable camera
Strange, but true.
I made a test pattern composed of red dots and placed some distance away from EOS-1D Mark III and adjusted the zoom to match a 35mm disposable camera. It turns out that my red patter appeared green on the image captured by EOS. The 35mm film on the other hand captured my pattern in undistorted red color. After doing some research on the sensor technology I've found out that all mosaic type CCD sensors are not able to capture correctly the color (chrominance) portion of an image element that is as small as the CCD element. Which means that since it take 8 CCD element to determine color, source image need to have uniform color with areas that are at least 8 pixels large for correct color acquisition. That incredible technical deficiency makes all the cameras that use mosaic patterns a false image producers and logically they should not be used in applications where true images are required. In scientific, medical, law enforcement and may other application areas this type of false images would substanicialy degrade performance quality. The cameras with mosaic type sensors should only be used for entertainment purposes. If You want to capture true images with undistorted color than the cheapest way is to use 35mm disposable camera. |

Most people don't worry about it and concentrate on getting the best image possible regardless of the colour distortion. If you really want to capture something with perfect colour, throw a net over it and drag it home. -- Matthew Winn [If replying by mail remove the "r" from "urk"] |

I would be interested in seeing the results - could you post the pictures you took with the EOS and the disposable?. -- Nicholas O.

OMG!! We better notify Canon of these findings!!...........NOT!! Sorry, I just don't buy it. Helen |

The disposable was developed on analog type legacy photo processing equipment. Also I can post a link to the test patter so anybody can print it and get the same effect with his own camera. |

Strange, but true. Strange, yes. Please post the results. And don't waffle on about how you can't scan the analog one without a 3CCD scanner - I have a nice, cheap flatbed that will do a comfortable 1200 dpi scan. All *you* need to do is to make a good print of at least 7x5 (pref 11x8) and scan it at 600 dpi or higher. Which presumably you must have already done, or how can you possibly be resolving detail down to this size? Yes, Bayer CCD's can't resolve perfect colours at 'actual pixel' resolution, but *no-one* said it can (and no camera can - Nyquist still rules when you get down to the bottom, even for a Foveon or 3CCD). And for the sort of enlargement level that is relevant and sensible for sensors of these sizes (or 35mm film), the issue is non- existent. So, yes, show us the images. You have said you can at least show us the canon one - so do so. And here's an extra challenge. Show us a real world image with the problem. Frankly, this smells like a Sigma/Foveon fanboy post - I think i just wasted my time responding to a troll. Oh well. |
