Indeed, its not just the megapixels. When I had a friend the other day babling why I didnt buy a D800 like him, I just borrowed the S2 to him and said "look through the viewfinder and just sush". He was mumbling, put the camera to his eye and then said "oh my......."Thank you, proenca.
I have seen the differences between D800, D3x and MF. I know what you want to express.
With a D800E and the holy trinity (14-24-70-200/2,8) I could spend less money than for MF of whatever manufacturer. The results would be good and anybody could even sell the pictures for good money.
But there were several reasons for me to take MF:
- Great Viewfinder
- Better Focus System on the H3
- more resolution with a crisper sharpness
- better portraits
- more colors
- more spare in postproduction
- the possibilities to play with blur und sharpness
- higher sync times with flashlights in use
Yes, all that would be regardless if printed on 10x15 or used for the web.
But I want to print in A1 and more. My biggest project was about 3,5 x 2,5 meters.
So, thank you all for welcome me in the club of Hasselblad. For all small things I still have a Nikon with 12MP, fast AF and the same sharpness in the pictures like with the H3.
Will do Josh.Marc,
Yeah for wide angle macro stuff would be great. That makes more sense as a product. It's weird that it doesn't af with a wide lens, but does with the longer ones. That's what I was told at least. It worked on the 80. Interested to hear your thoughts when you test it. Try it with the 100. It didn't seem to get much closer.
