Thanks, Stan,

While we're talking about SCSI scanners under current OSs, how 'bout Vista?
I'm running an SS4000 on a Win XP laptop through an Adaptec 1480B. The card
is supported under Vista, but I don't know what to expect for the scanner.

I wonder if the confusion comes from the option for compressed NEF as the
raw format. The D200 default is uncompressed lossless but it's easy to
change to the just barely lossy compressed option. Compressed in-camera
squeezes the 12 bit, 4096 native analog RAW value scale into 683 values,
~9.4
Some 2006 Japan-only figures put the 5D at a low single-digit portion of
DSLRs overall (and DSLRs are only about 5% of digital camera unit sales).
The 1Ds would be a smaller fraction still. This is just from memory, but
together they'd be 2-3% of the DSLR market, 100,000-150,000 units. (and
Hmmm, 12 MP but in different sizes. Consider the Nikon D2X(s) vs Canon 1D

Does it bug anyone else that so many of these tests are run at small
apertures? Too few are at f/5.6 or f/8 where a typical good prime is at
its best. It's not like subjects hundreds of feet away need f/16 for DOF,
so the lenses are needlessly handicapped by diffraction.
Thanks for that info, Bruce. Do you or anyone else know how Hi Def
compares to Portra UC? Kodak's verbal descriptions are similar for the 2
films -- tough the grain numbers differ by one notch, so they don't look
like the same film in different packaging.
