Title: Digital Back Shoot Results
Post by: erikhillard on August 22, 2007, 12:23:58 pm
We did a heavy shoot test with the new DBs.  This test was about speed and stress, not processing.  Here's a link to the Results PDF.  Lots of info so probably better to print it out and read versus scrolling and zooming on your screen.

As mentioned in the text of the report, we tested what was available to us.  Neither Sinar or Megavison were available to us in rental or loan in Los Angeles during the time all the other backs were.

If you have either back and would like us to test it, we definitely will.

I would think Sinar's (and Megavision's) marketing dept would help.

Mega Vision 888-324-2580

Yeah well some people thought I was joking when I said I was testing the H3D.  :-)  We almost tested an H20 too, just to get a historical perspective. I'll test (break) anything.  I love it.

Very intresting test, thanks for sharing. The file size differance between p45+ and the hasselblad CF39 back is enormus! Does anyone see big differance between the files? Are hasselblad just not as good in the compression department or is there a real differance there?

Phase IIQ RAW L files are quite compressed.
