Just three very quick pics this afternoon - conditions the same as yesterday, namely Canon R5, 600mm f4 ii with 1.4x extender shot wide open at f5.6. Sharpening and NR using the facilities inbuilt in Capture One - didn't bother using Topaz as I normally would. All significant crops to around 25% of the frame and saved as a small jpeg 1024px on the long side. Yes there's noise and by the final pic it's becoming noticeable but it's still perfectly usable as a record shot - pics in order are ISO3200, 6400 and 12800, not that I ever plan to use 12800 but's it's nice to know if push comes to shove it's an option!

In your hands those are very impressive results. I feel that the R5 is a very impressive computer, and needs someone with a lot of talent to use it! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeletehaha thanks Chris - just an evolution of the computer in your camera! does take a deal of understanding to get it set up 'properly and being mirrorkess is obviously very different but the same fundamental principles apply
DeleteBlimey! I'd have thought the decisive factor was the price...not the specs!!! 4+ grand???
ReplyDeleteConsiderably cheaper than my traded 1Dx Mk2 Kev! Nowhere near as bombproof/weatherproof but that won't be an issue
