As I am a mirrorless camera user(OlympusMD) I was most interested to see your great shots on a 3:2 aspect .
very nice, the cat did not seem to be too nervous about your proximity.
I have been printing my own for years . My latest printer is a Epson SC p800--17 by 22 inch (replacing an Epson3800) and I am not sure I can see a lot of difference. The price of the inks is a killer so it makes for very expensive printing if one prints only a few , nevertheless I like the control I have over the final product , which indeed is the print. Have also had some large (20 by 30inch) prints done at Cosco and have been quite satisfied by their quality.
I like your Yosemite shot, excellent depth of focus and composition. Wide angle at its best.
Impressive, you were there at the right time and the right place-congratulations
Thanks, I will try a 20 by 30 thru Cosco, who I understand do good printing.
Re. my previous note I should have said I do not use the tripod necessary Hi Res mode so when I asked about maximum useable print size I was not referring to the Hi Res mode but rather the normal shooting mode.
Hi Clint,
I always appreciate your postings re. mirrorless equipment. I was a confirmed Canon (5d11)user with a bundle of quality lenses shooting a lot of landscapes and some portraits. Umpteen years ago in the film and slide era I used Olympus cameras mainly because of their compact design and lots of features-- a real pleasure to use. So, I sort of had an emotional attachment to the brand. I now own a stable of Olympus cameras (E-M11,E-M10,Oly Pen 5, Oly Pen F) along with a clutch of their professional lenses although the OLY 300mm is on my wish list hoping someone will sell it cheap. Am not sure I will spring for the new EM1 just yet because of the price and the habit of Olympus to drop the price significantly after several months. I really like the Pen F with its larger sensor and other features so I tend to use that more than the other cameras. I print my own on an Epson P800 (mostly 22 by17inches) and am pleased with the quality of same . I would be interested to know what you think is the largest size you would print.
.
Can't really tell the image quality from a downloaded JPEG on a computer screen. Large print would be the way to tell.
Top of the line in the cat world, intelligence and awareness at their peak, so watch out if he is hungry.
A very sensible take on the problem . As print quality defines the ultimate image capability of a camera system I would like to see some discussion on ; is there any visible difference in quality between prints made from full frame and micro4/3 cameras at a gallery size of 16 by 20 inches ?; or put another way , at what size prints do image quality differences between the two systems, at any given aperture and shutter speed, become apparent ?
