I've seen many people mentioning they like the 1.6x multiplier
factor of the D30 (because of the smaller sensor), especially
in bird/nature photography.
I'm not yet so thrilled by this because I don't know what is so
different in it if we compare to a scanned and cropped slide?
I haven't seen a single D30 image yet (RAW, unprocessed)
on my PC. Is there any place to download some RAW-mode images?
According to my calculations, with a 2820 dpi scanner,
cropping a slide (32MB) with 1.6x factor still produces
a 12MB file (which may or may not be practically as good
as a D30 image with 3.11 Mpixels = 9MB file).
By using a 4000dpi scanner or a drum scanner the scan quality
would be better than with a 2820dpi scanner I quess (I'm still
not comparing to D30...).
I know, there is more involved than just the amount of pixels
and resolution in general.
Well, I quess if someone thinks the quality of D30 and full-frame
high-quality slide scan are about the same then cropping the slide
should produce lower quality, in theory at least.
On the other hand, if someone else thinks the scanned slide is
better then cropped slide might have approximately the same
quality (as D30 image).
** And please, no need for another D30 <vs> film battle here.
Any user experience and/or pieceful consensus here guys?
I would like to download a D30 RAW-image and a quality-scanned
slide taken with the same lens (and the same focal length)
in the same place. Any place to do it? I have access to a fast
net connection.
