It doesn't matter if it can't be caught on photographic paper. It can be seen on a slide or neg, but that is of little use to most people. I can get far more good shots with a DSLR than I ever could with film camera. That's because the limitless control over shots and tweaking in a digital darkroom are free. I too get great shots but they are not as pin sharp as film at 6 Mpix. The smaller grain size of film and the smaller area of the CMOS chip mean that the sensor does not live up to the diffraction limited performance of a good lens. Another fact that is not recognized by most is that the limuiting resolution of the image is less than that expected from the pixel count by a factor of 2 or more due to the bayer mask processing in the camera CPU. Have a look at the dark signal from your camera in raw mode if you don't believe me. Cheers |
