I just got my first medium format camera!
That IDIOT "J?rg Preddimann" posted:
"... You can get better results if you buy a Sigma SD10 DSLR. Not only will you have 10.3 Megapixels of resolution to work with, ...." Bull-Pucky. I just scanned a couple of 120 frames that I took with a Rollflex ... way back in the days of the original Ektachrome "E-1" film. At a *very* sharp 7,000 pixels by 7,000 pixels (49 MegaPixels ... FWIW), I don't think any digital camera based on a 35 mm body will come close. Andrew's "Yashicamat 124-G" is probably capable of the same level of image quality, especially if fed with some of the professional level films such as Fuji Velvia 100F or Provia 100F. Oh ... BTW ... that Fovion sensor in your "SD10" is actually producing a 3.4 MegaPixel image ... NOT 10.3 Megapixels as you "claim." That's only roughly 0.0693877 th of the size of a 6x6 image scanned in a mid-range flatbed scanner. Yeah ... roughly 7%! [Isn't the "Internet" wonderful ... even idiots like "J?rg Preddimann" ... or whatever alias he/she's using on a given day ...are free to post their blatent lies completely without recorse!] |

And BTW, if I was trying to engage in "willy wagging", as you so delicately put it, I can hardly think of a more inappropriate piece of equipment to do it with than a second hand 1970s "obsolete" camera that most people wouldn't even look twice at, and which can be picked up for less than the price of a pretty basic digital P&S. I bought it to take pictures with, not to engage in equipment sonbbery contests. Sheesh! |
