Phase One/Mamiya Body 645 Advice

I did a lot of stitching of 5DII and 1DsIII files. Even at 100MPixels, they are lacking compared with a 39MP P45+ file, especially one taken on a tech cam. One thing that isn't obvious until you use a MFDB is the much more accurate colours, tonality and, because of the lack of AA filter, sharpness. On seeing the first files from the P45+ I leaped up and said 'at last, that's how it actually looked!'. I never got that from any Canon file, no matter how stitched, or carefully shot or colour profiled.

....

I find I can spot DSLR images a mile away now - they somehow have a 'kludgier' look. Don't ask me to define that, I'm no scientist! A combination of poorer lenses and narrower colour gamut/DR I suspect.
Interesting experience. I do wonder if it's got something to do with a sensor based on CCD, or maybe something about the lenses too? Or maybe the dyes used for the bayer filter? The geek inside me wants to know; but test charts don't show.

I'll have to just see for myself then when I get my hands on a MFDB. Best comparisons are always those you do yourself.
