Nikon/Canon/Sony Image Quality SUCKS vs Panasonic's Multi-Shot High-Res Mode
I came across this topic on today's Sonyalpharumours.com links. Diglloyd says the Panasonic S1R Multi-Shot High-Res Mode is “the Largest Advance in Image Quality in a Decade and It Works with Motion”
This isn't a Lloyd bashing thread, but a serious look at Panasonic S1R's multi-Shot High-Res mode
Some quotes from Lloyd Chambers (diglloyd's) open/public blog. (As it's his Open blog, I hope it's OK to post them here for comment?)
"The standard Bayer matrix capture quality with Nikon/Canon/Sony is CRAP compared to what is possible with (Panasonic's) Multi-Shot High-Res mode."
"I have been seeing terrific improvements in resolution and ultra low noise with the Multi-Shot High-Res mode of the Panasonic S1R, (covered and shown in detail in diglloyd L-Mount Mirrorless.) The sheer quality of the images is something new. One thing has emerged as a disappointing limiting factor: lens performance well below the demands of 187 megapixels.
"Most incredible of all: Multi-Shot High-Res mode works under field conditions, making it a real feature for real images outdoors under many (not all) conditions—unlike pixel shift—whoohoo!
Cameras with pixel shift are prone to severe and prominent artifacts like checkerboarding that are just about impossible to deal with, making pixel shift pretty much useless for field shooting, a finding from long experience and true of Pentax and Sony pixel shift (I have probably 50GB of ruined Pentax and Sony pixel shift files).
But the Panasonic S1R uses an 8-frame multi-shot high-res mode approach that performs in-camera merging of those 8 frames into single raw file with size equivalent to four frames. A smart merge, not a dumb-recording science fair project like Pentax and Sony.
Comments on the Panasonic's mode rather than diglloyd please! Is this something we should be crying out to Sony to implement in the next versions?
