Re: new cameras differentiated on variables other than IQ
Today I did a little experiment unwittingly, when using 1DsMkII + 800L.
At one point in the shooting session my subject went into a deep shaded area, thus in order to ensure I get the WB right, I changed the file format from JPG(L) to JPG (L) + RAW.
Once the shade sequence was finished, I returned the camera to JPG (L), or so I thought.
Well, without my reading glasses I misdialed the format/file size, and the camera ended up in JPG (s) which is quite small indeed: 2446x1664. By comparison, EOS 300D had the maximum file size of 3072x2048.
All subsequent shots that day ended up being done in JPG (s). When I got home and started examining the files, my first reaction was disbelief...and then it eventually hit me.
The thing is, the resulting images are not that bad, although there is hardly any cropping possible on them....thankfully I had a very long lens on the camera. The average size of these FF JPG (s) files is 1.4 Mp.
However, if I had to, I\'d still try to make the best of it even with a very low resolution camera of years past.
Here are two examples.
Handheld 1DsMkII + 800L, shot as JPG (s).
