How good is the image quality?
The most commonly
asked question.
My test results indicate that the
resolution can not be improved, what you have on the film image is what you get
to digital image. Correct exposure and filtering can improve appearance of the
image, which is important to get as close as possible during the digitizing process.
All filtering functions with computer editing will degrade the image resolution.
Over digitizing to higher resolution may have adverse effects as the camera will add
more color pixels resulting to the grainy effect. It also takes more storage
space and more time to digitize.
The benefit of shooting in higher resolution allows more computer editing,
yet maintains the image quality equal to the original film image.
The continuous tone image in Super 8 frame size does not contain more
information that can not be stored into 1440 x 960 frame size using (Normal)
quality setting. (I hope somebody proves me wrong).
All new DSLR 10.2 cameras can digitize
every bit of information what is stored in
the continuous tone film image of Super 8 and 16mm film formats.
