bellyface Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · D700 vs. F5... very interesting video pretty interesting video from the gadget show... http://fwd.five.tv/videos/challenge-blow-up-part-3 Nov 24, 2008 at 03:55 PM

Hatcher Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · D700 vs. F5... very interesting video Real world tests do have some value, but there are a quite a few variables in getting film back to pixels that a from-the-hip test like this is fairly useless from a scientific point of view. (and don't tell Ken Rockwell this, he uses Costco for film scans & p&S film cameras to best his D3 daily. ) Nov 24, 2008 at 04:07 PM

90 5.0 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · D700 vs. F5... very interesting video I saw that as well but if you watch they used 400 iso film and didn't specify the type, as also mentioned the type of digital transfer from neg-digital has a ton to do with it as well. For a billboard shot I would have liked to have seen a real quality slide film used... Nov 24, 2008 at 09:48 PM

TWoK Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · D700 vs. F5... very interesting video I really doubt that they spent all that money making these giant prints just to use stupid things to chance, but who knows... I really like how the guy in the studio couldn't help but look at his shots right after he took them every time. Nov 24, 2008 at 10:15 PM

Justin Huffman Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · D700 vs. F5... very interesting video they flipped the results at the end. Nov 25, 2008 at 12:42 PM

lou f Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #7 · D700 vs. F5... very interesting video wow, i remember seeing the first time they did this, i think it was a d100 they used. a 50 asa slide would be closer allright, but a 200 asa would still be well out. Nov 25, 2008 at 01:37 PM

highcontrast Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · D700 vs. F5... very interesting video I realize they had studio strobes and all, but if it was really a sharpness test they coulda at least used a tripod. Nov 25, 2008 at 02:38 PM

r_o_b_s_o_n Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #10 · D700 vs. F5... very interesting video I've got both... and have made some interesting observations my self... one of which is auto focus performance... the F5 will just focus non-AF-S lenses faster, and more agressively...no contest... The D700 is miles ahead in terms of VF... I miss not having the command dials on the verticle grip of the F5.... Nov 25, 2008 at 03:56 PM

Jammy Straub Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · D700 vs. F5... very interesting video There was another thread about it here: http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/709627/ I'm not sure how anyone can be surprised by these results. Maybe if they were shooting old Velvia 50 the results would have been more comparable, even then I'd still take the 12mp camera. The future is now! Nov 25, 2008 at 07:29 PM

Chris Langer Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #13 · D700 vs. F5... very interesting video I really don't mind my digital camera. I think film is dying faster then people realize. I can't wait to stop shooting film and going all digital. Chris Nov 25, 2008 at 07:42 PM

(and don't tell Ken Rockwell this, he uses Costco for film scans & p&S film cameras to best his D3 daily. ) But KR's photos would blow both of these totally out of the water. Even one of those cheap VGA cameras at wallyworld in KR's hands will outdo anything Ansel ever did. If you don't believe it, just ask him. When God said "Let there be light" KR tried to tell him a universe with 2 suns would give more interesting light. KR finally made Jupiter, but God refused to touch a match to it. So it ended in a draw. God only wonn because he had the only matchbook. Okay, the thread is open, top this one. Nov 25, 2008 at 11:18 PM
