Resolutio versus Image Quality

(1/13) > >>

Harry:

An old friend who is a Leica chauvinist claims that the Leica S2 makes far better images than the Nikon d800 because despite the same pixel count Leica images have greater and more subtle gradations of tones.

This point generalizes to tonal quality versus resolution.

I wonder what the experts here think of this controversy and if it is valid which cameras solver the best tonal continuum.

Bo_Dez:
it's true. Also, in the case of the S, it is the lens quality too. But there comes a point where resolution matters also.

Cameras don't make images. People do.

I've never seen a person without using a camera actually make a photo. Along with the person, the camera, lens and most importantly the image processing all make the photo. If any of these are compromised, the final photo is compromised.
