But I respectfully disagree with the comments that the Q?s sensor has so many pixels that you can just crop to the FOV of a 35mm with no significant loss of quality. The area covered by a 28mm is very roughly 150% that of a 35mm, so you end up with a 16 Mpx image, and less if it needs further cropping. This is fine for perhaps an 8 x 12-inch print, but my experiments with P&S cameras at FLs commonly used by FF cameras indicate that the inherent resolution of a fine lens well exceeds that of even a 36-Mpx sensor, probably by at least a factor of 2, and this can be critical for very large prints or small crops. Is this camera a response to (or inspired by) the Sony RX-1? ?howard > On Jun 4, 2015, at 10:55 AM, Stan Yoder <s.yoder at comcast.net> wrote: > > Well, cropping a 28 image to 35 has not the same perspective as shooting > with a 35 from farther away. > > Stan Yoder > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
