My first pics with the D800

[BTBFM2]

Emm, yours seems over sharpen by the way, people's one is sooc. Also, when you take got no haze leh, it's quite hazy when zoom3 was taking the pic if I am not wrong.

I don't know what's your intention but you have been coming to threads to thrash the cameras. School holiday now meh??? :dunno:

no sharpening lah, just adjust a bit on the contrast. no cropping etc
the day was slightly hazy and overcast, as can be seen in this pic [same zoom as the mbs shot and handheld too]

not thrashing lah, just stating some facts. I am a Nikon user too

No big deal actually. A sub $1000 camera also can do the same. Handheld too:bsmilie::bsmilie:

i would actually like to see how much details is present in the photo when you blow it up to 2500 pixels.

maybe you can show the 4000 pixels(12MP) full size image and compare with the 7360 pixels from the D800.

If no sharpening at all, then perhaps u need to unsharpen your super sharp camera already, that type of sharpness hurts when you take portraits....

The drummer one I believe no sharpen, because even on iPhone its soft and focus was missed.

need to go to that extend meh. must reserve some face for d800 mah.
FF sensor definitely must hv slight advantage over a pathetic 2/3 sensor lah. LOL
$4000 vs $1000 :bsmilie: not to mention cost of lens?

wow lao eh, handheld at that kind of zoom, what do you expect. if lucky when shutter pressed movement min then sharp, if unlucky excessive movement then not so sharp...:dunno:

:what::sweat:

I think we need a Tiger Lolz, better revert back to talking about the D800 lah

 

[rain5533]

just taken by today..

 

[BTBFM2]

Ha ha. Is this a CSI investigation ? :bsmilie:

Here u go. 100% crop of the right eye from the first pic. No sharpening applied.

How many shooters can you see ?

however, i must say this is awesome.

ya man, at web size, the difference is not ginormous. but when comes to big prints, big sensor will have the ultimate advantage.

Amen that.

people use it to earn a living one....not like amateur like me. LOL

Comparing wrong camera. Also comparing wrong pic. Yours is only slightly better than his 100% crop.

Haha. So can my sub $1000 camera. Yes, no big deal when photo is taken in good light and file size is relatively small. However, if comparing at full resolution (or anything from say 1400x 934 pixels upwards), it's a big deal. The difference (better IQ) is quite significant.

Anyway, the MBS photo was shared to show the amount of details the D800 can picked up at night. Have you tried looking up at it at night? Don't know about you but all I can see is darkness

true.
I was referring to the day shot.
the sensor of the d800 is truely remarkable.

btw, curious to find out...with such resolution ie number of pixels, what is the max acceptable print size it can give?

you can go for poster size.

 

[zoom3]

you can go for poster size.

Or even larger. It all depends... :bsmilie:

How big can you print? - Nikon D800E - YouTube

It's just all depends on your IQ and the printing quality.

2 days back, I did a A0 print, which is 46.8 x 33.1 in from the 18MP 1DX - no compromise in IQ, every thread on the nylon costume, every hair strand, even the pores on the face can be seen. And that's 18MP only.

The video says that D800's 36MP at 141DPI can print you 52.2 x 34.8 in, which is about the size of A0. I've already did that with 18MP. What the 36MP can really print.. :bsmilie:


EDIT: My original 18MP photo was used to design an A3 size (exactly sized at A3) poster at 350DPI, but the printing shops says that it can be upsized to A0 without compromising IQ - which the print itself proven so

 

[BTBFM2]

awesome!
is this close to that of a 35mm film? or better?

 

[lunas]

Hehe.Yes! I accidently picked up a very interesting image from one of the rooms. I won't post it here. The simple morale of the story is to make sure the curtains are drawn if doing anything saucy

Share lei..hhaha,..at least teach them a lesson for being so careless..
