Originally posted by malek yeah, but the tamron is still better than the 18-55mm. And that 16-35 L F2.8 is way over my budget (2k) at this moment...

definitly true enough, I took a look at the pics you posted, I can't see any obvious abherations, but then the pics are reduced in size and such. Not bad at all.

7 mp, that's just overkill. I can't imagine why anyone would want this much in a phone, as sending pics of that size would be very limited to a few that have enough space on their phones to receive it.

Uh. "640KB ought to be enough for anybody."

And I quoted him correctly this time Durafei!

EDIT: Oh and BTW, 35mm film would be the equivalent to ~25 megapixels.

Shit yeha, didn't read the post right. Still, it's just the same old, bigger-better-louder doctrine

Really? wow that's massive ...cool good to know!

Although I always wonder how do they make those MASSIVE billboards without damaging the quality?

I had heard that a while back, and confirmed it with a google search on "film 25 megapixels"

http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.htm

"If you do fret the pixel counts, I find that it takes about 25 megapixels to simulate 35mm film, which is still far more than any practical digital camera."

hhmmm interesting...but i still don't know how they create those MAAAAAAAASSIVE billboard type prints ...

Multiple shots, and use the stitch assist software to bind them together. Bah, I'm talking outa my ass, I don't actually know...

If you have a very high quality image scan of a 35mm shot, or from a very good digicam, there are utilities that can enlarge the pictures on a grand scale, while internal algorithms resolve colour saturation, quality, and other factors like that. We used to do that at a place I worked at. It's just one method, but I'm sure that there are several.

the massive billboards are done using large/medium format photography. NOT 35MM
