The Monkey Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Stunning, Jeff. Really nice stuff. Guys, are there some "basic" shots I can take with the S95 and post to see if we can agree that it's all good. Are there some standard/reference(y) things/conditions I can shoot that will help determine if there are any issues? I'm worried about what I perceive as some softness in the images, but I also have been in some low light situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 with a small sensor like that, it's gonna be soft in low light. Take a picture of something outside in the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yeah, I guess I forget the fact that it's amazing it can pull off low light in the first place. The last p&s I had from years ago was useless unless outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Just takes some shots where the subject is not backlit, by what appears to be the surface of the sun outside your window, and see if those come out sharp. Any indoor shot with average household lighting should be sufficient to give you a sharp shot with the S95. If you are really interested there are various focus test prints that you can download and hang up all over your house to do your mad scientist measurements.

VPI Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Great shots. You sure get a completely different perspective with the crop factor and your longer zoom. I could not even get that lion. Looks like Red Panda Fight Club in your picture there. I do not remember the one killing and eating the other as it was obviously about to do in your picture.

Jon L Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Canon 70-200 f2.8 II arrived. This baby is huge and heavy as expected, and I am very happy to report that it works GREAT with Kenko C-AF 1.4X Teleplus Pro 300 extender, yielding very sharp photo's at effective 448 mm reach on crop body. The 4-Stop IS really works because I can get sharper photo's at 200mm with IS in dim indoors compared to non-IS 135mm L. he Canon 70-200 f2.8 II by drjlo1, on Flickr Canon 70-200 f2.8 II by drjlo1, on Flickr Edited December 6, 2011 by Jon L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I have had great luck with my Nikon 70-200 on a Nikon 2X teleconverter. I even did some test pics with a tripod and bill a while back and I was very happy with it: in other words I preferred the loss of sharpness rather than having to crop. It wasn't even close.

The Monkey Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Well, now, I like that interface much better. Is this resolution improved? (Sorry guys, I don't know shit about photography.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 pick a spot on the picture, maybe 1/20th of the image. Crop that at full size and upload it, hopefully with 0 compression etc. It's like asking us to compare how a cd sounds with 128k mp3s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetoole Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Dinny if you want to play with another recent point and shoot (Canon SX230), I can drop one off so you can compare them. How dark is your lobby, and what are the settings? I cannot pull exif data out of those pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
