I am interested in light painting, which means exposures up to 10 mins.
Reading back through the archives here I've read that CMOS is better then CCD for LE. But I was unable to find out why this is so.
What I did learn was that the Pentax 645Z is highly regarded for LE, even more so then other late model CMOS sensors.
Can a P25+ or a P45+ compete in this area compared to the 645Z? Or is it just plain wasting time to consider a P+ sensor for light painting type exposures.
I know this is Dantes realm but I am trying to avoid going into yet another camera sub system. If I can do reasonably well with a P+ I would rather do that and use what I have, but if it really is chalk and cheese in the difference between a P+ and 645Z, well.....then you know what I have to do..get a 645Z.
However, I would prefer to stick with a P+ if I can. What I dont know is how well these P+ backs do/dont do with 10 minute exposures.
Any advice for me on this from the gurus ? (most of you here in other words)
