p.1 #12 · 20D, 30D; Still relevant? | |
I did some serious pixel-peeping this weekend because I was thinking that one of my lenses was mis-calibrated. I had a borrowed 20D, plus my own 30D and XTi, and took the same test pics on all three. The 30D and XTi were better, but not by much, and it took 300% and higher enlargement to see the differences. The 20D and 30D both have problems handling big blobs of bright red; it comes out a bit oversaturated. The XTi, on the other hand, balances all colors beautifully. The 30D is the most low-noise, with the XTi a close second, and the 20D not very far behind. The detail resolution on the XTi is great, with the 30D and 20D close runners-up. If I weren't looking for differences I doubt I was have seen any.
Like a lot of folks, I'm curious about full-frame cameras, so one of these days I'm going to rent a 5D and see what it can do.
These are great cameras, and when they are paired with quality lenses and a bit of skill you're going to get great-quality photos. This is amazing stuff. I grew up using a black-and-white darkroom, and color processing was something you sent to a lab. I like this digital world.
