Dear list, Having started only a year ago, I can say that most of my work is never produced bigger than a4.
I use a d100 and when used at 200asa, I am staggered at the quality of theses cameras. I recently had a few images for different jobs at 4 metres high. One was interpolated using fred mirandas step actions and the other with genuine fractals. Both looked good at the viewing distance and up close looked pretty good as well. As long as the images are raw files and processed that way, it gives good results. The 1ds would be better if I could afford it. Yes obviously the larger digital backs will produce better quality, but for most of us the dslrs will do the job. There has always been the argument, mines bigger than yours with the 5/4 vs 35mm debate. But then there is just some stuff that you can't do with digital backs. I think it is up to the individual and their market. With the possible outcomes of a new d100/s3 and d2x, are we not fast approaching the stage where the large backs will become less of a necessity for high end work, and all will be using more portable devices. At the end of it, it has always been about the skill of the operator and about the composition and the final image. That will never change despite, the high low end debate. cheers Ian Reynolds =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
