Hi All Just been window shopping and comparing cameras on DPreview. Much easier on the nerves than Wood Green Shopping City on a Saturday just before THAT time of year!
Does anyone know if a RAW converter for the S2 has been released by a third party? DPreview didn't rate Fuji's software too much though it is an old review. I noticed when comparing an image shot with the S2 and D100, any rounded shapes or diagonals faired worse when shot with the S2 whereas any horizontals and verticals fared better. Also, the color balance was awful for the S2. You can clearly see a cast in the Kodak chart and elsewhere in the image (noticeably the silver bottle tops, labels borders, silver watch, white paper - basically everywhere). DPreview seems to favour the S2 but the D100 seems ahead to me when comparing images, especially the text looks less jaggy in the D100 image. Both the images have been sharpened in camera so it maybe just the different USM algorithms they use that's to blame but DPreview seems to think it's the array of S2 sensors that causes 'moire'. Sadly, they don't feature any faces in the comparison images! Any comments from owners of S2's and D100's? --/ Shangara Singh http://www.e-pixel.co.uk Adobe Certified Expert ~ Photoshop 7.0 PortfoliosOnCD for Photographers http://www.portfoliosoncd.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
