Re: why does digital looks better?

A digital pic is a first generation photo, and has NO error like water spots, hairs, scratches, crystalline fractures, the list goes on. the only reason I have been against digis is the lack of DOF cotrol which the newest canon EOS D1s has over come by using a full frame image sensor (36mm x 24mm). The other thing that makes pics from cameras like the D60 look so good is the large range of DOF its like shooting on f/16 all the time.

hey hey, boring question No2 for today...

Digital - at least to me - looks better. not only in screen but at some prints (1600 ISO film and digital 6x9 prints)
when it comes to close ups, i enjoy the crisp edges and the shinny surfaces of palstic and mettalic materials
and i can vividly remember 2 digital roses in Pf gallery that loook so 3D!

so is it only me?
and...

why is that so?

i am only theorizing, but does it have to do with the pixels being so well distributed in the surface?

i mean either digital or film, it is sambling of the image we are making, getting a sample of the oh so millions of molecules of its surface.
in digital photography, sampling is done with well organized samplers, while on film it is performed by unevenly distributed emulsion grains. i hypothesize that few grains are side by side...i feel they mosttly overlap leaving gaps between them, gaps that are not always "covered" by grains in a lower emusion "layer"...

is that so?



Thank you very much.
