To me the 800E starts to look like it has sharpening artefacts. (the motorbike number plate in particular) although I know it isnt. Just starts to look too harsh.

I wonder how much unsharp mask you need to apply to the 800 to get to the same effect?

Not sure I would want to do any digital sharpening of the 800E image.


If I am correct in that observation, I think I would go with the 800 and sharpen to taste.



Eric, I am not sure what you mean by sharpening artefacts, can you explain?

Thanks


Over sharpening can result in a halo effect along high contrast edges.

I will do some examples tomorrow if I get a minute. On iPad at the moment.


I look forward to seeing what you are talking about. I always thought a sharp photo was one that was spot on focus. Now I have to come to grips with a photo being too sharp?
