Let's have a look at some DNG files from the S3

With the lens stopped down a bit now.

One more.  Look at that detail.

There was a question about how well COne supports the S3 in default profile mode.  So here are Chaemono's daffodils rendered by COne 20 (at 50% -- 16 MPx) with no corrections:

Wow. The colors in C1 (on my laptop) looked closer to Adobe Color than Adobe Standard is to Adobe Color. Did that make sense? Anyway, it's damn good at default. Knowing Phase One, they won't allow this to continue! 🙁

I'd like to see some blue sky...

Can one of the S3 owners shoot a standard landscape with plenty of sky showing and post the DNG.  I'll be happy to run it thorough C1.

To clarify slightly, I think the "how blue is the sky in COne?" question just requries a standard travel shot, morning or afternoon,  with the sun behind the photographer and nice clear air.  Maybe some puffy white clouds to fix the tonal scale.

BTW, in another thread, there was a comment about mastering focus with the 100/2.0.  What's that all about?

C1 is more subdued. I like it better.

Not what you asked for but it was hazy in the morning and then it was cloudy and rainy.  Still, something to play around with.

The first of the three pictures downloads, but the second and third seem to be defective when I download them.  Could you check?  These do give the range of daylight sky colors that was asked for. 

I had no trouble opening all three in LR and C1.

Second and third download fine and I can open them in the test version of C1.

OK.  Got them, thanks. 

I had to change to a different browser.  Smugmug saw that I had failed to download (interrupted) before and was not allowing a second try on Chrome.

Here's the one exposed for the sky, processed in C1 v 20, no corrections

L1001352 by scott kirkpatrick, on Flickr

and the shot with closed restaurant in the foreground was exposed one stop more, so I corrected things to get similar sky, bring up foreground...

Thanks for the images. The first one in particular shows how much range it has and how high the quality is of the pixel level detail. That was a big fear for me...more pixels do not really help if they are worse than the pixels you already have. In addition to the color, one of the most important contributors to image quality in the S006 was that the pixel level detail was very sharp and high contrast. That gives your image a snap that makes it easier to enlarge an image with. (Think about it...if you have to interpolate, the more distinct each pixel is, the easier it is for the algorithm to make a good "guess" as to what the interpolated pixel might be.) This is one of the reasons it was able to punch above its weight in terms of comparisons to higher megapixel cameras (especially 35mm ones). I am glad to see that this seems to be retained. The S3 profile color palette seems natural and understated (though it could also be the subdued scene), which is great. This kind of image is vulnerable to bad profiles...lots of information in the shadows, which can be difficult to profile well. Here is seems like color separation is quite good even in the dark tones. Overall it bodes well. Looking forward to trying one one day.

S3 vs. SL2 with the same lens now.  I tried to take into consideration the higher pixel count of the S3 when framing these.  They are good enough, I think.  Focus point should be on the exact same spot.  Let's state upfront, at base ISO the SL2 holds up really well vs. the S3.  There is a slight advantage of the larger sensor in terms of tonal separation but one has to look very closely, and even then the difference is very subtle.

I guess the question is whether an S3 is worth $18,500 more than an S-adapter-L.
