D3x and A900 resolution figures comparable? - Klaus - 09-09-2011 [quote name='Yury_S' timestamp='1315554445' post='11445'] Thanks for your reply. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> One question from me. What RAW-converter do you usually use for testing Sony/Minolta cameras and lenses? [/quote] Various. :-) A900/A850: CaptureOne 5 A700: LR 1.3 NEX-5: Sony Converter You may, of course, ask why. Usually we evaluate the different options at the time a system emerges and choose the "best" one regardless of the software brand. Please note that e.g. ACR 2 ACR 3 ACR 4 ACR 5 ... will all give you different results because of algorithm fine-tuning over time (and even within major versions) so sticking just to a manufacturer is an absolutely meaningless approach. It is also impossible to stick to -say- ACR 5 and converter everthing via DNG because the different DNG converters will already alter the RAWs. At the end there is only one conclusion - things are simply not cross-test-system comparable. Neither here not at any other review site (although most of the other sites will not mention this as openly). Klaus |
