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. |

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." |

| 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
