Alright. This is not a repeat of another thread.
I just wanted to point out something.
I happened to be in Japan at the moment, and just yesterday picked up a brochure for the upcoming 645D. Now, on page 2 of this thing, they show two pictures of flower petals and stamens that are cropped out for comparison. One is of course shot by 645D. The interesting thing about the another picture for comparison is that it says "35mm version (21.1MP). They went on to say that at aperture of f/5.6, 645D renders more 3D like and demonstrates softer expression, with rich gradation and beautiful bokeh, and it is as if to convey the smell of the flower itself, or something to that extent. They then put the asterisk on this paragraph, saying that this is based on their own test shots, as of February 2010.
Now how the heck did they do that? Did they go out and shot some pics with some FF camera by other brands and compared that to 645D?? Seriously doubt that personally.
Or, did they . . . . hm. . . . . I do not want to speculate a whole lot more, but you know where I am going with this.
What the heck. Let me speculate further (I might as well, I guess) that perhaps they already have a beta version of FF ready to make itself known in October???
On the other hand, throughout the page, they keep ragging on how much better in so many darn aspects MF sensors are in comparison to FF, to the point of, you know, oblivion. Well, they better hope so, because 645D is probably at least 3 to 4 times more expensive if i speculate that FF body would cost around 2 to 3 grand.
Also, for the very first time I saw large prints (A0) taken by 645D, and I just about crapped in my pants. It is absolutely breathtaking, and it just is not funny. Looking at those pictures really reminded me that I only live once (in theory).
Since I am on the road, it is hard for me to post the pic, but i will figure out something and post the picture of that page here, as long as I am not violating copy right or some crazy things . . . . .
So, here it is. Another useless thread by me!
But in conjunction with this another thread, maybe we are onto something??
