PHOTO PRO TIPS

I’ve been a Windows user for a long time now. At first, it was a cost issue. Mac’s are so much more expensive than PCs (you gotta pay for all that marketing ). Then it just became habit. I prefer the Window’s interface over Apple’s. I like the right-click, ALT keying through menus, and having an application background. I used a Mac for a year at a part time job and I practically got carpel tunnel syndrome from clicking everything. Plus that thing would crash all the time.

Anyway, I recently upgraded my PC from 4GB to 8GB of RAM. What I didn’t realize when I did this was that I would need to run a 64 bit OS in order to take advantage of the extra 4GB of RAM. I was running XP Pro and was holding off on the Vista upgrade because I heard of so many issues. This seemed like a good excuse to make the leap.

UPDATED: So, as Johnny Danger pointed out in the comments below, I didn’t upsample the 5D to match the native resolution of H3Dii in the original test article. I have added two new slides to illustrate this and it really shows how much better the H3Dii is compared to the Canon 5D. I’m still amazed that this little blog post gets about 100 unique visitors a day and is the #3 link when you do a Google search for h3dii.

As you may have followed in my Daily Photoblog, I’ve been testing out the new Hasselblad H3Dii 39.1MP Back. The camera is just awesome and really fun to shoot with after being in 35mm format DSLR for the past 4 years. And the files I pulled off it were amazing. The image quality, sharpness, and dynamic range just blew my mind. But is it worth $30,000? Better yet, is it worth a $500/day rental versus a $150/day rental for Canon 5D?
