I’ve been posting shadow noise curves for a while. Here’s an example: There’s a lot to unpack, but for now, just concentrate on the following: The curves are normalized to standard sized prints; differences in camera resolution are normalized out Higher y-axis values are better — they mean less visible noise The further to the… [Read More]

This is the ninth in a series of posts on the effect of camera resolution on the quality of downsampled images. The series starts here. When I started this series of tests, I didn’t expect it to take so long. But I’m glad I did it; I’ve learned a lot in the testing, and now… [Read More]

This is the eighth in a series of posts on the effect of camera resolution on the quality of downsampled images. The series starts here. In the previous post, I looked at images from four cameras: a7S, 12 MP a7III, 24 MP a7RIII, 42 MP a7RIV, 61 MP I tested them all with the Sony/Zeiss… [Read More]

I’m beginning to see then end of this series of posts, and am beginning to mentally write the conclusions section, but there are a couple more things I’d like to… [Read More]
