Add to that deterioration on jpg's over time... and not being able to fine-tune your jpg to begin with.

 

But... interesting to see the differences in jpg export/convertion between different software - and even different levels of the same software. It's not as if the interpret the RAW exactly the same! You'd have thought...

 

But agreed - I shoot in RAW. Period. (Yes, even sport shots!)

Arm in a cast so not getting any riding done and not much photography. Got my wife to bring the beast into the studio on Sunday.

Some medium format action for you then hey.

I'm an old guy. I like big cameras.

I'd like to get myself a phase one or Hasselblad one day, but we will see.

Right now they are priced just a little out of my budget.

[HappyMartin]

I think DSLR does a fine job. I just happen to like printing big and the commercial work justifies the cost of the hardware.

 

I also have a fondness for view cameras and frequently mount the DB on a Cambo monorail camera. More cumbersome than a 29er but I like the workflow and slowness that it induces.

I have a good mate who gets paid really top dollar for his work, he is constantly busy and very well know as a fashion photographer, he reckon those cameras are not really economically that viable, he rents them if need be.

Quite right. You need to work them long and hard to make money back. I upgraded from a 33MP to the 80 a few years back. Never been asked more more pixels. 33MP was enough. Where you see it is big prints. I print up around 2 meters and at that size the cameras are special. Don't make money on prints I'm afraid.

Thats what I hear, but would still be nice to know Im wealthy enough to buy one; like a Santa Cruz MTB. Just dreams.

 

And with Nikon making the D800 at 36MP that closed the gap a little bit too.

From what I've heard (and I'm not a Nikon guy) the 36MP is not in all instances - it goes into DX (crop sensor) mode at times. Obviously when you add a DX lens, but apparently you can manually force it there (esp if you're looking for speed).

 

Then there are rumors of Canon working on a 75MP sensor... Ehhhrrr... are we getting faster disk hardware soon - will be interested to see what that one tries to push through in a burst!
