Nikon/Canon/Sony Image Quality SUCKS vs Panasonic's Multi-Shot High-Res Mode
As nazdravanul mentioned it, (post Pg 2), I've just read Keith Cooper's review (Northlight Images), of the S1R and its High-Res mode. It's well worth a link. It's a more "measured" review than Lloyd Chamber's. (eg. He did find some chequer-boarding in parts of some shots.) http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/using-the-panasonic-s1r/
His conclusion on the High-Res mode: "The high res mode is fascinating to use – it’s not quick and absolutely needs top quality camera support (tripod and head). It’s also brutal in showing up lens deficiencies. However, the extra detail, especially in colour makes it easier for correction software to do its work. Even the really good TS-E50 lens shows clear chromatic aberration, but one click and it was very effectively gone – even in my old copy of ACR.
Using high res mode outdoors needs some of the thought and planning you’d give to larger format photography. The finer resolution means that softening of the image from diffraction could be noticeable as wide as f/5.6, whilst the f/8 I was using for the Yorkshire Dales photo and the Castle would definitely soften things a bit. Add to this the reduced effective depth of field at higher resolution and the tradeoffs you make in your camera settings become just a bit more important."
His final remark is: "What did I miss the most when the camera went back? It has to be the output quality of those 187MP files – they just blew away single shot versions."
