D1X : CCD
Pixel count = 5.89 million
Sensor size = 23.7 x 15.6 mm = 369.72 mm2
Pixel size= 61.58 micro mm2

D1x is 5.33.... in case anyone cares ;p

wah lau! You got some facts mixed up. The D100 has usable ISO from 200~1600. There's an option to go to HI 1 and 2 which is ISO 3200 and 6400 lah!

Facts:

1D is the cleanest camera of them all. At high ISOs from 400 to 1600, it is better than any of the other cameras. It also has ISO 3200 - and though it is noisy at that ISO, none of the other cameras u listed has ISO 3200 as an option.

D30 is also an extremely clean performer, with very clean and smooth images at ISO 800. 1600 is noiser, but still extremely usable. The D30's clean and smooth images is attributed to:

- CMOS sensor
- Unique noise reduction algorithms applied at pixel level in the CMOS sensor. Each pixel is processed by special algorithms.

D60, though it has smaller pixel size, manages to keep up with the D30 in terms of noise levels through even more optimised noise reduction processing on each pixel. So even though the pixels are smaller, noise levels are not increased from the D30 - a real tribute to Canon.

As for the other Nikon cameras u mentioned, the jury is still out on the D100 and the D1x is relatively clean too, with clean ISO 800 and usable ISOs up to 1600 (according to Jed ;p).

not really, Red Dawn said usable up to 1600, and after seeing the samples, i think he's right.

Yah Romulus is right, the Pekka issue has not been explained yet. Where are all the gurus??? Is it something secretive or tedious to explain? How come we've got so much discussion on the "kinds of expensive cameras and lenses I own", or "look I can take solid images worthy of POTM" or "The D30 has so many pixels, a sensor size of blah blah blah..." but none of the software that they use? A but disappointment here leh...

Yupe for digicams, the post-processing is the most important.

Hi all,

sorry for leaving out (unintentionally) the pekka connection ;P

actually, it's nothing more than a (excellent) set of photoshop actions for D30 image processing which brings amazing natural sharpness and more accurate colors.

rather than listen to me, listen to the man himself....

Are u saying that these are just a set of filters that can be installed? And not some proprietary software?

they are photoshop actions, basically a sequence of actions recorded to bring the best out of your D30 images.

they are not even filters.

 

[TME]

I see. Are these already in the PS software? Or do u need to purchase after market or download or whatever?

This is an example of what a 2 Mpix old model camera can be used for......

candid quick shots.....

Simplicity....is still the best.....What ever your camera is - learn to LOVE it...

Eh how about somebody script sets of actions for... Canon Pro90s, G2s,..., Nikon,... and Olympus cameras?

If you're looking for Photoshop actions, probably can look at this site:
http://www.fredmiranda.com

Some of his actions are good enough, altough can't surpass the plug-in s/w using proprietary algorithm, such as Power Retouche.

Lovely, exceptional style I must say. I guess the musicians were playing up to your photo-taking? I guess u would have to spend some time at least a few minutes to get into position and get a good frame?
