Duh!

[Hervé]

jeje... what I am really susrprised about is that the gray panel on the right looks like a gradient with the Nikon.. where the Hasselblad clearly shows a uniform gray..

I am getting a Canon 1D Mark IV in a couple weeks... after looking at many cameras... but I am still puzzled about the lenses... I need a 50mm.. and a 24 mm.. I need them to be sharp ..

[Tora_2097]

what is the point of this comparision?
The Nikon is 12MP vs 39MP on the Hasselblad.
One has been designed for studioworks the other clearly not. The Nikon is a 35mm 14bit sensor the Hasselblad is medium format with 16bit.
They are comparing the greatest strenght of one camera with the greatest weakness of another. No point really.

@Hervé: Be advised that the 1D is not a 35mm format camera. A 50mm lens will yield a 65mm field of view. (Crop factor 1.3) What do you need it for?

Hey Hello Ben...

well I just found it funny the comparison... although I would never have thought the difference would not only be huge, but the Nikon image is not even accurate at all... well.. hehe

a good zoom for outside shooting.. like this one

and a studio fixed focal like this one...

But all reviews says it's over-priced.. do you know of an equivalent quality...?

Cheers

Personally, I think it's a gimmick. That's why it will be marketed to the low-end camera market. It's for bad photographers who need more options for tweaking their poorly composed photographs.

[Hervé]

I think you're right Brian... that thing will be mass consumer targeted... and I also agree this will mainly be for poor Photographers like my daughter (she'll take a photo from you.. but you won't be on the photo.. or maybe your shoes.. hihi)...

It's a bit like all these people calling from supermarkets... "... Darling, should I take Danone or Yoplait yogurts..?" ahaha.. these new technologies make People having the right to forget everything but to dance & sing... hehe

I'm such a big fan of technology, but everywhere I look people have their heads buried in their phones. It's scary.

[Hervé]

believe it or not.. (we might be very few in the world..) I have never ever had a portable phone nor any smart phone or such... do I miss something... hell yes.. the end of month phone bill... haha

just a small one...
Last week Isabelle went to a party for some birthday... she said 90% of the people there had their eyes glued on their mini screen.. people were sending sms in the same room... hahahahahah.. fun..? nope.. pathetic..

I've never owned a cell phone either -- I get pestered about it all the time... but my response is everybody is so connected today, yet we have so little worth actually saying.

That said I also haven't had a phone in years, I use Google Voice for the very rare occasions I need to make or accept a call.

Best,
Jason.
