"It's more about evolution and revolution in the digital SLR realm right now" says Daniel M.East at Photoshop User magazine. I have to agree; however, as in "Beauty in the eyes of the beholder" saying goes, I'd say, 'DSLR cameras are in the hands of the users". I think, you already know what I mean by that; if you don't, stop reading! This is definitely not much of a use to you except muddle your mind, or even, have you frown upon what I'm about to say.
Ok, here it is: keep it simple, stupid! I love that phrase. Upping, upgrading is not always is the solution to photography, or to any better something!
Again, it's all about what kind of photography you're after or doing right now.There is nothing more unnatural, even annoying, to see such a camera, a bank breaking one, in the hands of a snapper; a tourist, traveler or casual shooter who could do (and be much better off) with a Rebel T4i that cost 1/3 of this beast. This dude, this snapper could go around shooting and get much better result with the Rebel series.
The snapper: Rebel T3i. 18 magapixels; this your camera; this is your limit and zone.
Pros Articulating Rear LCD screen
Additional Movie options compared to T2i including digital movie zoom
High Quality, great low light performance of the 18 MP sensor
Remote off-camera flash triggering capabilities
Cons Limited controls, features, menus and Custom Functions compared to 60D and 7D
Smaller, less rugged construction than 60D and 7D
Slower continuous frame rate than 60D and 7D
Less precise Auto Focus system compared to 60D and far less precise and sophisticated.
Forget the cons! Why? I'll explain step by step...remember, before we go further, this is for the snapper!
It's a fact that images taken with more magapixels look sharper. But, not if:
SHOOTING FOR HDR:: Since sensor type affects dynamic range, a single full frame CSMOS sensor 5D Mark III with 22.3 magapixels is a no-no for this type of photograpy for:
1-Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compared to charged-coupled device (CCD) sensors have less dynamic range. Why high-end cameras have them? Cheaper to producromatice.
2-Contrarary to believe, the less megapixels the better quality of the combined images, for exemple, in Photomatix (Currently, best HDR software out there), will force the tone mapping engine to deal with too many unnecessary pixels load that will produce a poor quality image suffering from burnt highlights (gray whites and muddy blacks) flat midtones, digital noise and chromatic aberration. I will demonstrate this by processing three images taking with different (underexposed, metered, overexposed) with Rebel T3i. 18 magapixels in comparison to single full frame 5D Mark II 22.3 magapixels.
3-Big files, ranging from 80MB to 100MB 16- bits TIFF filess as opposed to 69MB 16-bits file, that will not fill up much more storage space, they are simply unnecessary.
Will continue...If you're interested in finding out what camera is right for you, what camera can do wonders for you, please bear with me...
