Why sRGB ? (source file)
For weddings I would be real scared of moire on the 800E.Now.. about that AA filter or lack there of.... :watch:
Interesting comparison here. While I could not visually detect any difference between the files I did notice the 14 bit raw file was some 10 mb larger than the 12 bit version. Bringing up the levels command on each I also did a screen grab of each levels window, then brought those two into PS layering the 14 bit version on top of the 12 bit version but reduced the opacity of the top layer (14 bit is lighter gray) to 50% to see if both histograms matched. As you can see from the attached file below which is a 200% view of the screen grab of the two layered windows they do not. Clearly the 14 bit file as indicated by the levels window has more data even if we can't detect it on a monitor.
Rob, when I took the very last trivial test shots of a corner without much light, I suddenly had a bright moment and remembered to take them in 14 bit mode as well.
But it's a far less challenging histogram than the 'grand piano in white room' shot, so I don't know if it is of much help for your DR investigations.
Here are the two test shots both of them at ISO 100 (here I have added 50 out of 150 sharpness to the jpegs in Lightroom, no other tweaks).
Jack, does it even make sense to shoot sRGB anymore now that most web browsers support color management ?And I am shooting sRGB for the jpeg output . I shoot raws to the CF and (medium) jpegs to the SD -- makes for easy sharing with the family or wife's iPad
It's a fair question, but I err to the side of caution. There are both devices and many monitors that are CM limited and cannot handle Adobe -- so to me at least for now, sRGB seems a little more safe. In a few more years, it will be different for sure.Jack, does it even make sense to shoot sRGB anymore now that most web browsers support color management ?
I am amazed. I shot some basketball last week with my Sony A900 at ISO 1600 and the images are virtually unusable when it comes to my standards.More to come. Heading home and a lot to process but I'm pretty happy with it. For me you just don't know how hard that is for me to say about 35mm. LOL
