I can see a clear shadow line separating the grass field but it's not so clear for the Olympus camera at time @2.13. Is it due to the HASSELBLAD Natural Color Solution (HNCS) for Hasselblad?

[PixartComAu]

This comparison is not bad at all. However, you should use best prime lens you could for the Olympus, which in this case was 17/1.2 Pro, to compensate for optical disadvantage. I suggest you do that, and you will see significantly different results.

I am an Olympus shooter - but since 6 months I switched to the Sigma Quattro H with the new Art series and use my Olympus only for videos. I believe the Sigma Quattro H can give the Hasselblad a run - the colors and sharpness of the Foveon sensor are amazing - and the color depth is so huge that I can recover a huge amount of shadows without additional noise. If you had a Foveon sensor once - hard to go back. Sure the raws and development are a pain in the ass, but with new gen. CPU it's not that bad. I don't understand why not more photographers want to use the Foveon sensor - it has a unique three-dimensional effect on the image depth with razor edge micro contrast. That is where I see the Bayer sensor loosing often under extreme contrast and perfect studio conditions - Foveon for the win.

The high resolution mode can give some interesting effects to things like waterfalls

[AnastasTarpanov]

You should compare with Olympus 17mm F/1.2 prime :)

[КолдовскойЗаяц]

Does Olympus have an option to change EXIF data to "Hasselblad" ? :-))))

[koolkutz]

I think the Hi-Res mode on the Olympus (or any other camera with this feature) is that it can only really be used successfully in a studio situation with absolute stillness of subject, and using a remote as you did here. It is a pity they could not come up with a solution that would suit landscape photography.

[groundprosp]

Hi, I have M5 mark II and as far as I know the hi-res is not more than 40 Mpix. Instead, you said is 60. What's the correct resolution????

[metamurph]

I think the other thing to do here would be make some A3 prints and compare them

[malraulio]

Peter, Have you tried Olympus Viewer 3 with high res mode files? I think that Adobe gives less sharpness than Olympus RAW image conversion application.

[Zapruderfilm]

Excellent job on an “” out of the box “” and unique comparison. You’ve gained a subscriber.🙂👍

[zabtej]

You don"t have to calculate any f number, use the same lens and crop the hell out of the medium format.

[terrywbreedlove]

I used the high resolution mode on my Olympus Pen F just for fun shooting still life. Set my 25mm at F 4 and it was a great image. The larger depth of field with the smaller sensor was actually a bonus.

[prodajembaklje]

Where you guys from?I love your sense of humor.

[marc]

In fact, I don't understand the point of your video.
Blad sensor is 1441mm2 and Olympus' is 225mm2 (6.4 times less). It's like comparing a Mini with a Porsche. Nobody will hesitate between those 2 cameras. So who cares to note that in some circonstances the result might be close ?

[jacksonbrown]

Nice to see Olympus being able to hold its own against such high end competition!

[allgoo]

I'm convinced.

I'll go out and buy a Hasselblad.

lol

[colourberry]

You should have compared Olympus handheld to hasselblad handheld

[christopherfiveash]

So was the apple the same as the orange, they are the same except not really?

I blew 5 odd mins, must have wasted more of your time though. So there's that.

[jeffdrew]

I have the Pen-f with 12~40mm f2.8 lens and like it. M43 file size, like negative film size, performs for those few times I print large or spend hours tweaking, like in the darkroom. My K3ii sits ready for bigger if needed! The X1D is a wonderful camera as are previous Hasselblad systems, imo. It was fun to consider the possibilities in your challenge! Thanks!
