DSLR -- Is it t ime yet ?

2004-02-13 by sceptre12345

I've been asking myself if I should go ahead with a digital camera 
for b&w prints. Up to now, I've not had much success with b&w prints 
from digital camera. I get posterisation and the skin texture in 
portraits are not what I looking for.

But now there is a new crop of 8 mp digital camera and i'm wondering 
if the time has arrived to make the plunge.

So, I went to Canon's site where there are picture samples of an 8mp 
camera. 

I chose sample #6, because there's lot of black area where 
posterisation would show, converted it to b&w and printed it at 
12"x18" without resampling using the UT inkset.

I'm still wondering if I like the skin texture and tones.

So, if you want to try it out, here the link:

Cheers,
Andre
