That was not the question. The question was "So at what megapixel will it take to equal or surpass a 35mm 100 ASA film speed grain?" I answered it comparing Analog print to digital print. It doesnot bother me that there are members on the EOS group that feel otherwise. Hey, I still use film myself, but the results I see from a 6MP camera are amazing. THe output is great and yes it is convenient as many clients are asking for digital files these days and not just a print. So I will stick to my comment which is simply to say that if you print a 20x24 directly from film it will not be as sharp as the same size from a 6MP digital sensor. If you want to prove it to yourself, download the raw fil Canon has on thier website from the D60 into PhotoShop and enlarge it to 30x40 and you tell me. You can see the fine blond hairs on the bottom lip of the model. With film you could do this but you lose some when you transfer the image from the negative to the paper since you have to do sop through another lens (enlarging lens).
Peter K =========================================== So if the D60 is so good then why is that new image sensor (Forovan ???) being released ? In the side by side pictures that I have seen the new 3 color chip beats the pants off any other 35mm type sensor (Not sure about mf scanning backs though ?) So surely this means that all the other sensors (be it Canon, Nikon or whoever are not producing images that are of a true (Color) nature ! I am far from being a expert on the above matters, But surely this new chip renders all/most other chips redundant/out of date ! Please, As I state above I am no expert on the matter, But I just think that this new chip/sensor really shows just how poor the other Canon, Nikon, Minolta, Whoever's chips/sensors really are ! I will be sticking with my 1v and eos3 for the time being ! P.S. Sorry for the VERY late reply, I have been rushed of my feet for the last couple of weeks and I am only just starting to catch up with the posts :-) * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
