Does anyone know where I can take a look at key performance stats for several digital cameras? I am keen to compare the Canon 1Ds and 1D MK II against Leaf and PhaseOne digital backs. I know these are completely different solutions but a I struggle with understanding the price gap. If one extrapolates the 1D MK II pixel count up to a full frame 35mm hopefully-to-be-announced-in-the-not-so-distant-future 1Ds MK II then it could be around 16-17 megapixels which really becomes very interesting. I understand the Canon is 12 bit vs 16 bit for the higher order digital backs (but then not so long ago we did almost everything in 8 bit.....). So I assume the signal to noise ratio is where the battle is. (I can process the RAW data of either a Canon or PhaseOne in CaptureOne and so that is an even platform.) I just took a look at the portrait shots on Canon's website from the 1Ds and did not think these were particularly sharp vs shots from a 6mp PhaseOne back I have used. What other key factors should I be looking at? (please ignore portability, handling ease, fps etc - just image quality.) Thanks Steve
