DSLR vs P&S a replay of Film vs Digital?

I appreciate the amount of detail given the shallow depth of field and very wide luminance range. How much difference would a larger sensor have made? Hard to say because no comparable image is available. Anything else is just speculation. It's not pure speculation, John, it comes from examining a number of images made under comparable conditions by the different sensor sized cameras. Murky shadows, lacking in detail, can be typical of small-sensor cameras, particularly where some noise reduction has been applied (even with that turned down to the minimum). It's the manifestation of the reduced dynamic range caused by the smaller well capacity, so it has a well-understood physical explanation. Yes, a direct comparison on a particular scene would be preferable. Cheers, David |

It remains speculation unless the specific camera is tested against a larger sensor under the same conditions. Call it "informed speculation" if you like, but it's still speculation. Yes, a direct comparison on a particular scene would be preferable. .... would be necessary to lift it above speculation. -- Best regards, John Navas Panasonic DMC-FZ8 (and several others) |

So the fact that thrusting a butcher knife into your heart will kill you is just "speculation" because it's only killed every other person that's tried it, but not you? Apples and oranges. ...Idiot Self-deprecation suits you. -- Best regards, John Navas Panasonic DMC-FZ8 (and several others) |
