Boring camera for a poor guy, S95, Dp1x, Canonet, Trip 35
The attempt at reproducing a nice digital film camera has Richard B Merrill thinking. He uses 3 layers of stacked photodiodes, resembling natural light on a film.
Although it is nice, you cant have an image stabilization in this type of stacked sensor and compact prime lens. Too complicated for the engineers at Sigma. It is the same as a 70' film camera though.
A film camera can reproduce a dynamic range that only a high end digitals can. The digitalization of all things can only meant one thing, our dependency on silicon valley guy's. I myself think that when i wrote this blog, how can i restore it for my grandchildren to see, when in their time our oil has depleted and electricity is scarce. Can i download my blog as a PDF file and print it now?.
This sample is from my Canonet QL 17 GIII, film is asa 200 fuji, what you can see is a good scanning on a good film and a good post processing by the man behind the lab.
Took about 2 weeks to developed :).
Up is th S95, with good focusing and zoom for a nice blur. ISO 200, 1/60, f2.8 in 4x crop factor. Indoor stuff is a hit and miss with all.
This is the nicer one from Dp1x, with iso 100, f4 with flash at 1 m.
For out sunny day bottom is S95. With a blown up sky (sucks!)
So much for the bragging and whatnot. Any camera is fine, as long as you have the right light comin through. For indoor stuff, use high end camera with IS, their iso is a great relieve cuz people are moving subtly, or take as many pic as you can, one or two can be good, dont use flash above 2m, its sucks.
All n all i think that buying a Dp1x is a step down for a casual snapshooter like me. For an avid landscape artist or architectural major maybe not. I missed the capability of low light from Dp1x (max is ISO 200). My problem is that pic from the S95 cant be blown up to A3 straight from the camera, DP1x i'm not quite sure, its an APS C (but only 3MP shiiit!!! the irony of materialism). And close up stuff man.. bye bye flower n mushrooms.
If you wanna buy a one and only camera, look for X20. Pocketable is just gonna drag slow yo ass. Neck it, and snap it. For birding use your pencil and binoculars! you poor human doesnt have the pocket for it. Film stuff is pricey and slow as hell.
Update 18 Jan 2014
- DP1x is dead...... i will used K790i before my new camera arrived
P.s If you have a boring life, and not a photog, dont buy high end camera, buy an iphone or lumia.

- I have a boring life, eventually i use rx100, coz i can get it cheaply in terms of secondhand. x20 is big and costly.

Also a thing that hasn't been solved is the low light sensitivity. In a film you can have up to ISO 3200, in a conventional Bayer 204800, from this foveon... a meh 200.

And Dp1x...1/200 f4, iso 50 is like this.
