Comparisons From DT's 250 and 260 testing in the Library

[torger]

Tried both files in rawtherapee, there I can't see a small difference but not that kind of difference in aliasing. Color aliasing artifacts depend a lot on demosaicer. It also depends a lot on the exact positioning of the pixels in relation to the object.

My theory is that there's a very slight difference in offset where the "pixel grid" comes over the bars, and the IQ280 just got unlucky and got in a worse position than the IQ250, and this got enlarged by the demosaicer.

So I don't think the IQ280 is any worse in this regard. I haven't analyzed it in detail though.

Hi,

I think fill factor and microlenses may also pay a major role. Increasing the fill factor reduces aliasing.

Best regards

Good point, it could be it.

Hi,

If you order the IQ250 please test skin tones. If you can include an african american model too will be great.
Even so any information of using the camera with people will be great.
Thanks,

J. duncan
