Re: [Digital BW] Re: The megapixel issue - "again" and other issues

2012-03-13 by Ernst Dinkla

Discussions on the dpreview forum and DXO results indicate that there is 
more relation between total sensor size and usable dynamic range and 
higher ISO qualities than between sensor "pixel" size and usable dynamic 
range etc. If compared at the same resolution afterwards. So I would not 
select with similar sensor sizes the lower MP sensor to get a better 
dynamic range etc as in similar print sizes there is no gain in dynamic 
range etc with the lower MP sensor. That said there are still 
differences in sensor quality between manufacturers and even within 
manufacturer's catalogues.

On optics: how much can be compensated with the RAW process lens 
sharpening tool  when lens resolution gets behind sensor resolution? 
One day they all fail whether from Zeiss, Schneider, Rodenstock, Canon, 
Fuji or Nikon.
