Does pixel-shift increase resolution?

February 11, 2020 JimK 38 Comments

The a7RIV has 16-shot pixel shift technology. Fuji has said that they will be bringing that capability to the GFX 100 in a future firmware update.

Fuji 50/3.5 on GFX100, Sigma 35/1.2 on a7RIV

February 7, 2020 JimK 3 Comments

It’s a nice still morning, so I thought I’d test the new Fuji 50 mm f/3.5 on some foliage. For comparison, I chose the excellent Sigma 35 mm f/1.2 Art lens on a Sony a7RIV. Here’s the scene:   Making three shots for each variation and picking the sharpest, I exposed at base ISO 100… [Read More]

a7RIV vs GFX 100 landscape IQ with GigaPixel AI — part 2

November 26, 2019 JimK 12 Comments

In the last post, I upsampled files from the Fujifilm 110 mm f/2 on the GFX 100 and the Zeiss Otus 85 mm f/1.4 on the a7RIV, using Topaz GigaPixel AI, with surprising results. I had concerns about possible under-the-hood sharpening differences with Lightroom, and also with Lightroom’s export resizing, so I decided to process… [Read More]
