p.1 #6 · p.1 #6 · Does the D750 provide enough resolution? Faces from the crowd with the 80-200 2.8 | |
Hi Fred. It may not be about content as much as shooting style and printing capabilities. Most photographers try to frame the image in the camera with no/minimal crop in post. Then there are some who see an interesting scene, capture the image wider than necessary and then crop in post. Depending on the aggressiveness of the crop, the D800/D810 provides sufficient resolution should you want to eliminate 60% of the image (for example) and still wind up with an image of decent resolution. Think full body shot cropped to a head shot or a heavy crop of a wildlife shot to "zoom" in.
Certain fashion mags and large ad agencies insist on as much resolution as you can provide. They want the option to go from web-sized to huge wall prints for conventions and shows, etc. In some of those cases you're talking Hasselblad or Phase one 50 to 80 megapixel resolution, 16-bit color, etc.
The D750 and the D800/D810 are outstanding cameras. Do they provide enough resolution? For many publishers, yes and for some, no. My D810 covers the work I take on and yes, I could probably do very well with a D750 as well. I also have a D600 (24MP) and when I grab a camera for a shoot, resolution doesn't really enter my mind. Both have enough.
Hope that provides another perspective on resolution.
Thanks,
Larry
