Not yet Eleanor but as soon as i get the production unit certainly a test i want to try out.

Isn't Arizona a community property state? (which means your wife would be entitled to 1/2 of that P65+ MFDB...)I would not mind upgrading but in the process i can see divorce papers being delivered at the same time. Not a good thing. LOL
Yeah, trading up from a 22MP back to a 60MP/2 = 30MP back is just not worth it at that price. Especially if you then don't have anywhere to live. I mean, where would Guy then shoot basic test shots?Isn't Arizona a community property state? (which means your wife would be entitled to 1/2 of that P65+ MFDB...)
Thank God I don't have a wife to worry about that....
:ROTFL:
Dave just showed me some of the files that you shot. You are right.. they are very impressive! The detail is incredible! As soon as Dave gets them processed, I'll make sure that they are available for everyone to take a glance at.Just got back from a test shoot of the P65 on a Cambo RS and Rodenstock 55hr with Dave from Capture Integration. All I can say is absolutely stunning! The level of detail was staggering! I am still unable to look at the LCC's on a calibrated monitor, as I'm curious to see how much of the color shift has improved since my P25 with the wider lenses, but what I saw on the 17' laptop was quite impressive. I haven't seen a camera that made my jaw drop like that in years.
Now if I could just get some of that bailout $ from Obama.... I promise, it will go right back into the enconomy, straight to the P1 dealer....
I've been reading message boards and have seen different descriptions of sensor + technology so maybe someone can clarify. I know with sensor plus at 1600 iso the files are reduced to 15 megapixels. OK...what about if sensor plus is enabled and you shoot at 100 or 200 or 400 iso....are the resulting files still at 15 megapixels due to pixel bining, or....are these sensor plus enabled files shot at 100 to 400 iso full res 60 megapixel files? Anyone know or can clarify? Thanks! Eleanor
Sensor+ Raises the effective ISO by two stops while reducing the resolution to 15 megapixels. So you can shoot in the normal 60.5 megapixel at ISO 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 or in Sensor Plus at 15 megapixels at ISO 200, 400, 800, 1600, or ISO 3200. The two sets of ISOs correspond quite strongly such that Normal_ISO_50 is roughly equal in look when viewed at 100% as SensorPlus_ISO_200. Likewise:No, with sensor+ they're always 15MP but with less noise (at every ISO).
I still don't understand why sensor+ is only possible in the camera and not just a function of the raw-converter!? It must be tricky to make binning in a bayer-sensor work, but the same algorithm has to work on a P45+ or any RAW-image captured with a bayer-filtered-sensor (even when the file-size is not reduced in camera).
Here's my (EE) perspective on it. The major source of noise is in the ADC, not in the image grid itself. This is called quantization noise. Running the ADC at a lower speed has an inverse square effect on noise. However, you can't just sample 15MP in the same time the image grid clocks out 65MP or you'd get garbage. So the pixels are electrically binned in the output stage - they're internally read a few lines ahead, then combined into a lower sample rate output, then clocked out at the lower rate (and fewer lines) and quantized (digitized) at a lower rate.I still don't understand why sensor+ is only possible in the camera and not just a function of the raw-converter!?
