Fortunately, Thaxted has not changed as much... One of the advantages of being on the road to nowhere...Quentin,
Tho' some may well have described Thaxted as the finest, no less an authority than Queen Elizabeth the First!! once said of St. Mary Redcliffe in Bristol-"..the fairest, goodliest, and most famous parish church in England". It may well have been parochial in her day, but I doubt if she would describe it thus today.
Perhaps we should not talk to the Danes about "alternative". After all I think they helped invent the word back in '71 at ChristianiaWe are all very "alternative" around here, Thorkil
Hey, be careful. I was born in nowhereFortunately, Thaxted has not changed as much... One of the advantages of being on the road to nowhere...
I think that Q also has an RX100 (haven't you Q?). Of course, they're quite different beasts, but I'd be fascinated to see a side by side comparison at base ISO, and equivalent focal lengths.The Foveon looks grand and if you're claiming the 6x7 high ground for it I'm doing the same 35mm wise for the RX100.
Hi Gandolfi,Quentin,
Must say it all seems rather exciting at the moment. I'm a relative newcomer to all this computerised digital malarkey and know not much about the innards of all these toys, but there does seem to be some game-changing stuff happening.
The Foveon looks grand and if you're claiming the 6x7 high ground for it I'm doing the same 35mm wise for the RX100. I have no access to getting large prints done but one day I'm going to divide one of my pics into 6 or 9 pieces, make a print of each piece and join together to form something like a 20"x30" image, just for fun. Back in the day I made some lovely 'Hockneyesqe' joiners.
Some of my 10x8 negs were printed up to 9ft. x 6ft. and were magical.
Your pics are great to look at.
Cheers,
Gandolfi.
Hi JonoImpressive indeed Q . . . how does the camera behave? is it a bit snappier than the DP1?

Over to You Q!
all the best
p.s. the shots are lovely - but that's you and not the camera!
I also have an RX100 and its a great pocket camera. But it does not have the pixel level quality of the DP2M. Then again the DP2M is a fixed focal length lens camera.
Birthdays are to be missed (if possible), but comparisons between a DP2 and an RX100 at equivalent focal lengths and Apertures are not.Hi Jono
Belated happy birthday to you, and thanks for the kind comments! sorry I missed the actual day.
Yes, my RX100 is going strong, but...the DP2M *sigh*....
Absolutely that would work just fine. Its what I do except I post process in Photoshop. Photozoom Pro is a resizing program with a nimber of useful options. Works as a plug in and standalone program.A bit ashamed I must join Gandolfi in our lacking wisdom doing all the different computerstuff. So your talk of Photozoom Pro 4, S-Spline Max algorithm etc. are just plain Black talk for me. The C1 is for me the most intuitive system, and the one I have to rely on. But it seems like they don't support Sigma camera's. But can one just convert the files to TIFF in the Sigma software? and then carry on in C1. Perhaps thats the way to go?
