Well in my opinion - there is tremendous detail in the picture - you can see the interior crystal structure of the salt particles.

Aesthetics of the pictures aside, the camera is capturing a lot of detail. This is very impressive for the price.

What do we expect from "The Big Fish In A Little Pond", (Amature Photographer's Camera at $8,500 U.S.). Now someone will use "Pretzle Logic" to rationalize not using the full image circle of the lenses as-if it's a benefit, while ignoring the lack of 16bit color depth as-if it's a needless expense.

Do not be righteous overmuch. This is my suggestion.

You should read that and shut up. 14-bits allows for roughly 14 or so EV of DR I might add. If that isn't enough for you, its time to find an new hobby.

Hi,

Sorry for my reply being a bit on the harsh side.

The enclosed figure is a pretty good indication of the actual amount of information available from the sensors. Both the Hasselblad and the Pentax use actually 11.5 bits. That is less than on the best DSLRs of today, but both Pentax and Hassy have more pixels. Very few cameras of today actually utilize more than 12 bits and those seem to use Sony sensors which have a massive amount of on chip ADCs.

If you look at the figures, the Pentax seems to have one stop of advantage regarding ISO. That can possibly come from Pentax having microlenses and Hasselblad not.

Best regards
Erik"
