We will again start with the Sony in crop mode, first the old 18-70 f/3.5-5.6 kit lens:
Then, the Sigma 18-50 mm f/2.8 DC EX also on the A900 in APS-C mode:
And the CZ 16-35 f/2.8 in APS-C crop mode:
Now the Olympus EP-1 with its collapsible kit lens:
And the same with noise reduction turned OFF in the menus:
The A900 in full frame mode, jpeg saved as 12 Mpix with the Minolta 24-105 f/3.5-4.5 lens:
And the same with the CZ 16-35 f/2.8 (at f/5.6, like the others), full frame reduced to 12 Mpix again:
And finaly, the Canon Ixus 870 is P&S:
Remember that you are watching at a crop from a picture roughly half a meter wide on your monitor, so in practice any differences you see is unlikely to be seen on small prints… unless you need to crop a detail from a picture.
All pictures taken at f/5.6 and iso 200 except for the ixus (camera auto mode chose f/3.2 and iso 80). Please remember to click each picture to see it at its native resolution. I can't get google not to resize all pictures.
The conclusions in the next post...
