D800 vs Etch-a-Sketch

[JohnH]

You guys are all crazy - no one has checked out what zoom is best!

It has a unique dual range zoom.
One which goes from the tip of the nose to arm length, and the other which depends only on how far away you can get and still see it.
I prefer about half way in the arms length range.

I'm trying to figure out how many mm/pl the etch-a-sketch can resolve but I can't draw a circle of confusion.

Looking for the best method of cleaning the sensor, do I use a shirt tail or somthing a little softer?

Kids find licking it clean works.




I just don't know if your tongue will be long enough to reach the back of the mirror box...

A T-shirt works pretty well and if a wet-clean is needed, just add a bit of gin which can usually be found on my T-shirt anyway.

A T-shirt will definitely scratch your Etch a Sketch's sensor. I only use Sensor Swabs (Type 7) and 1/4 cub Eclipse fluid mixed with one tablespoon of Bleach.

I found that treating the etchasketch to a blast of crushed walnuts produced a superb nostalgic rendering of images closer to traditional matte prints. It's known as the etchasketch "impressionistic" edition

clearly the etch a sketch is also formidable to sports, as it is brilliant at capture. Let's see a MF body do this.

does it have vignette correction?

Only the higher end models offer that

The large format of the EaS is all fine and dandy, but I find its 1-bit dynamic range highly limiting...

According to DxO it is only a 1 bit DR

I've had a loaner and as nice as it draws I decided it wasn't for me. I couldn't figure out how to save a single image

You have to enable the in-body anti-shake feature. Then you can save one image.

Ya'll are hilarious :clap:. I have nothing to add, humor-wise.
