Advertisement Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Hi Googaliser, Take a look here Let's have a look at some DNG files from the S3. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Googaliser Posted April 22, 2021 Share #222 Posted April 22, 2021 OK - so I shot 86 captures over dinner. Terrible lighting. Battery hardly charged. Tensions running high. Worst possible context for testing a new camera. Categorically: This is the best camera I have used in 40 years. Every time I hit the 'right arrow' in Lightroom - you could be forgiven for thinking that I had Tourettes's syndrome. Have owned everything over the years (S2, 007, H3D50II, IQ180 etc. etc.). This is the absolute Zenith of SLR cameras. A big 'thank you' and shout-out to Duncan@Foto Henny Hoogeveen. I have been bombarding him with expletives all night. The S3 is nuts. Sell everything - buy one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googaliser Posted April 23, 2021 Share #223 Posted April 23, 2021 And the S007 wasn't too shabby: Welcome, dear visitor!

Googaliser Posted April 23, 2021 Share #224 Posted April 23, 2021 I made a large print of the balloon on 340GSM Baryta - and things look even better. There is a 'tonality' out of the camera that I haven't seen since my days of MF CCDs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell everything - buy one. What is it that makes the S3 even more 'nuts' than the previous S you have owned? The sensor size never changed, so the tonality should be the same, and I doubt the resolution jump is perceptible unless in very large prints. The handling and technology platform are the same as S007, so speed and operation should be unchanged too. 2 hours ago, Googaliser said: And the S007 wasn't too shabby: Welcome, dear visitor!

The sensor technology has changed - I would attribute the different tonality to this. The difference is not subtle to my eye - but my tests so far have been limited and not scientific. The Boscombe Pier shot was taken with a 70mm. An unplanned first day shot to test the 007 out. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
