Recently got a used DP3M in a great condition for around 400$.
Great in a good light, not so good at low and artificial light.
But sharpness is just impressive!
Nice shots everyone. Intimistic, I particularly like the wagons, and the dark path.
@reza - I really like the low light look of the images, but I don't have anything worthwhile in that vein to share, yet.
I was disappointed because I was going to take mine out tonight to do a study of BW shooting, and since we live in the lee of a (small) mountain, just missed the good light. We don't get a golden hour, we get a gold-ish 30 minutes or so .
I've been reading about the Foveon Sensor and how it works differently than the Bayer Pattern sensor. So this uses vertically stacked columns? What is the megapixel rating? These images are quite impressive.
Pinhole. It depends who you ask or wish to argue with. All I care about is the finished file. The Raw files come out nof camera as 45+MB. when converted to tiff's they are 85MB.
What tends to stand out with the Foveon files are the lack of artefacts.
I agree with juju the finished file is the most important.
The images can be processed and printed to very large sizes.
With that being said I round up and explain it is a 15mp camera.
Total Pixels 48MP
There are 3 layers of Color photo detectors on this sensor.
Each layer is 16MP
Effective Pixels is 15.3MP per layer
Final Raw Resolution output is 14.75MP per layer
So you have the
Area Resolution of a 14.75MP or 4,704x3136 pixels
And the
Data of a 44MP Camera
The real confusion will begin when the new sigma Quattro is released, as the layers of the sensor are different dimensions.
Really like those last two juju1958, very placid for having so many elements in them.
Two more from the same trip to the garden.
Bonkers bokeh wide open:
This still shows a good deal of the characteristic clarity of the DP3M, but lost a little in translation - pops a lot more in the original, and I didn't work these over a great deal in post.
