Cyber-shot: first results
The performance of the Sony Cyber-shot camera was recently tested by Carl Zeiss application specialists. They took photos from a variety of different subjects like portrait, still life, products. The results were printed on a HP Desk Jet 895 Cxi ink jet printer, which costs far less than 1000 DM. Special HP premium paper for photo grade prints and appropriate premium printing inks were used. Printing size of the images was A 4 full page and A 3 dual page spread.
The resulting A 4 prints prove that the performance in terms of detail sharpness and image smoothness of the Sony Cyber-shot camera with Carl Zeiss Distagon 1:2,8/6,85 clearly outclasses everything the Zeiss application specialists have seen from APS (= Advanced Photo System) so far.
Their impression is: In conventional ”chemical photography” it takes at least a 35 mm SLR camera and a high quality film of not more than 100 ISO to challenge the technical image quality achieveable with the Sony DSC-F55E. | |
