Hi all,
Popular Photography issue for April 2005 has just hit the shops here, and
there is an interesting review of 9 digital cameras and what they are capable
of. Here they are, with the maximum acceptable print size they are reported
to be capable of:
Canon EOS 20D 8.25 MP 12 x 17.5 inches
Rank 1
Canon EOS Digital rebel 6.3 MP 10 x 15 inches
Rank 1
Fujifilm Finepix S3 Pro 12.3 MP 11 x 16 inches
Rank 2
Konica-Minolta Maxxum 7D 6.1 MP 10 x 15 inches Rank 2
Nikon D70 6.1 MP 10 x 15 inches
Rank 3
Olympus E-1 5 MP 10 x 13 inches
Rank 3
Olympus Evolt E-300 8 MP 12 x 16 inches
Rank 3
Pentax *ist DS 6.1 MP 10 x 15 inches
Rank 3
Sigma SD10 3.4 MP 9 x 13 inches
Rank 3
My OM bodies (especially the OM4Ti) and lenses are proven to be capable
of better than A3 size - and 12 x 18 inches.
The OM4T and Zuiko 35~105 can do better than that with Fuji Superia Reala.
My MF bodies and 6x8 & 6x9 inch backs without doubt capable of much
better.
I have been thinking about this recently since I have been asked to take
some large panorama shots. So I am also definitely relieved that the E-1s
recently sold at a huge discount in Auckland were not priced higher !!
