Can the BMD really shoot 12K? At 12K you're limited to significantly compressed formats. With so much of the data missing, resolving power is noticeably degraded when you look at a crop.
I've heard that the tiny photosites also contribute to the sharpness issue, but I won't pretend to understand why.
A 4K crop of a 12K BRAW file looks 1080p-ish.
- zrav 4y agoThere are many possible reasons for images not looking so sharp. From the top of my head: - When not stopped down, most lenses are not that sharp, especially older ones. - Most sensors employ an anti-aliasing (lowpass) filter that blurs the image. - The smaller the photosites, the worse the signal-to-noise ratio. - Bayer interpolation. - Less then optimal post-processing, like aggressive denoising and sharpening with too large of a radius - Compression artifacts and color sub-sampling. - Analog outputs are usually bandwidth-limited (lowpass filtered) for EMI compliance reasons. Not an issue with an all-digital workflow of course.
