no to the music
not convincing. So I better stick with one shot (no hassle with movement in the pic) and use AI noise reduction in LR
Did you guys even test the Z8 or did I miss something.
Thanks for the comparison! I'd argue that the only meaningful analysis that can be done on 16- and 32-image photos would be strictly at 100% on the higher res photo in order to show how much more detail there is, inch for inch, than the comparatively blurry single shot photo zoomed in beyond 100%. 16- and 32-image pixel shifted photos are for printing. Even a 200 megapixel image, viewed on a 4K screen, is never going to appear as anything better than a 4K (3840x2160) image ;-)
4 adverts in the 1st minute...what??
The noise level improvement would have become more noticeable if you had shot the original image at a high enough ISO where noise became apparent. The averaging out of the noise in the 8 and 32 pixel shift images would have shown definite improvements. Also, the image resolution is being quadrupled in the 16 and 32 pixel shift images compared to the single shot image because it doubles both the horizontal and vertical pixel count. You won’t necessarily see a big difference in the images side by side when shown at the same size. The benefit is when you zoom in to 200% or more on the original image. The pixel shift image will stay sharp and smooth while the single image starts to look pixelated so it’s useful when you want to print large and keep it clean and sharp. Macro shots show incredible detail on the Z 8 with 16 and 32 pixel shift. It’s super-macro, like having a 4X macro lens without reducing the depth of field even further. Now if Nikon could combine pixel shift shooting with focus shift, that would be an amazing in-camera feature.
From my testing on the Z 8, you really start to see benefits of 16 image pixel shit when the plane of focus is sharp from near foreground to background. In other words either 2D copy work with fine detail or a landscape with good distance from your nearest point of focus. Another thing I've noticed is that my 105mm macro (Nikon Z) probably does not resolve at 180mpx as well as my Nikon Z 85mm f/1.8 lens. For most things the "paltry" 45 mpx is way (WAY!) more than enough.
great comparison… can you guys compare what the uoscaled original version looks like compared to the 32 image stack (useful for larger prints?)…it would be also useful to see how this compares to, say, a gifapixel upscaling 😊
Pixel shift shooting table top tests - sounds like a new tongue twister 😂. To be honest the effects look so subtle, I doubt I’ll make much use of it but it’s an interesting idea.
Hasselblad is one of the few manufacturers that did Multi-shoot well. They build high-precision hardware for the task. It's far better but super expensive. The mirrorless cameras basically do semi semi-random blend. It works but it's far from the real deal. The sad part is that the H is basically discontinued.
Surely if you've shooting landscape/seascapes and each shot is a longer exposure even a few seconds when you want blurry clouds and water you can give yourself a nice long exposure effect without the use of 10 stop or higher filters .
Interesting video. You have confirmed my bias..not worth the file size for regular viewing on a 5k screen.🧐
Thanks for comparison to the pixel shift between Z8 & Zf.
I reckon an ideal use for this pixel shift is scanning medium format film - done under controlled conditions, doesn’t move and you get nice big files of your big negs - e.g. 96MP for 6x9 and I would guess ~60MP for 6x6. If I get some spare cash I want one of these ZFs!
Took delivery of my new Z 8 last Tuesday,and now have it set up so will be trying the pixel shift feature very soon. Thanks for the tips!
Ironically, I was testing the Zf's pixel shift this past weekend and comparing it to Adobe's new Super Resolution feature in Lightroom/Camera RAW, and was quite surprised to discover (like some other testers), that there is little if any meaningful difference between the results when it comes to increasing resolution. That's how good Adobe's new AI interpolation has become. It's to the point now where I wouldn't hesitate to use a 24MP camera, even if I knew I wanted to make enormous enlargements later. The trick is getting one's exposure and focus dialed in accurately so that you start with a good quality file. If you do that, you're golden.
Thanks guys. Would love to see a low light comparison. I guess the differences will be more apparent.
Well I don't know about the color but I do notice more dust on the camera. Love the Video! Cheers!
bella zf, bella simpatica signora
