Hi Mike, > What's so hard to understand about two guys with two different bodies (a > 1.0x and 1.6x) and identical lenses taking a photo from the exact same > location?
Sure, two guys with two different bodies 1.0 and 1.6 from the same location I understand, but given most people use zooms these days, to do so they would probably not be using the same focal length. If they did use the same focal length, then the images wouldn't be the "exact same image". > That's the only scenario where his argument comes close > to holding > water. I understand, and I've said that as well, but in order to have the "same exact image", the focal lengths have to be different...which means the conclusion (10mp has higher image pixel density) doesn't follow. > You've been so busying trying to get him to clarify and clarify and > clarify his scenario when it was about as simple as can be from the > beginning. That is just as much an "exact same image" as your scenario is. How is an image that is cropped 1.6x of another image the "exact same image"? That's the part I don't understand. If that's what he's contending, that two images of the same "event" cropped significantly differently are the same...well, OK...but they really aren't the "exact same image". And, the point of that comparison makes little sense to me. But, that's just me. We (meaning you and I and others in the conversation) seem to understand the dynamics of what's involved, so what ever he meant either fits within what we've discussed and he's using a very different definition of "exact same image", or it doesn't...and since Peter won't clarify his statements, we are only guessing...so I think this horse is beaten dead by now. I'd like to hear how the Rebel XTi images compare to the 5D images...of the "exact same image" (using a "common" definition of "exact same" ;-) The Rebel XTi is a compelling camera for the price, but that crop factor (and therefore small viewfinder) has me quite hesitant, and waiting to get a full frame digital EOS.
