Nice stuff, looks like I'm not the only one collecting old lenses! Love the things.

Actually, no this is taken in Toronto. As far as I know, the highest resolution projection method available produces about 8 megapixels, JVC makes it and it costs $100,000.

Both exposures were 1/800th sec at f8. Pentax's shoot dark, unknown why.
guest 01-Oct-2008 08:32
You can't compare the ISO6400 test between D90 and K20D because the picture of the D90 has got a longer exposure! The K20D image is much darker.

Thanks for doing these comparisons.

I especially liked the shots of the 'gold' Royal Bank plaza. I have a lot of old film shots of that building from about 20 years ago when I worked downtown.

I'll do some comparisons with the D300 on the weekend.
Guest 29-Sep-2008 20:16
Really appreciate your effort ! Thank you sir !

Hi, very impressive performance of the D90.
Though I wonder how does D90 compare to D300 regarding fine texture details at low ISO. Could you post some comparison of the two, converted from RAW and without noise reduction'
Thank you.
