In camera/on sensor modifying and/or compressing any raw data is heresy to the scientific community and science imaging astronomers in particular. Nikon sensors only appear less noisy as much in-camera processing is now done in a black box modifying raw data so no one knows how or whats done. This allowed Canon users to do their own (or not) noise reduction using methods that many after market developers came out with, including LR and PS.
unlike the Nikon's which removed stars as hot pixels in the firmware. Canon's put out a true loss less RAW file with no in camera processing.
One of the reasons Canon was heavily favored over Nikon is that Canon was the first to adopt CMOS sensors and Nikon stuck with CCD for many years. You can compare it to the Nikon D810 or other cameras on Bill Claff's site here: Love to know it more and the technical background if it's a public knowledge.Įarly word on the 80D is it has the ADC is now on the sensor so it is basically ISO-less with low readout noise. This would be a very helpful discussion topic on its own. Re: The latest generation of Canon sensors, in the 80D and 77D and T7i are now on on the same level as Nikon sensors with low readout noise and good dynamic range. Canon isn't currently utterly ruining great hardware with terrible firmware (Sony Star Eater, anyone?)
#MAGIC LANTERN CANON DB LEVEL UPGRADE#
You can always upgrade to a better body later, unless Canon goes belly-up, which doesn't seem likely.ĥ. Canon may be a little behind the curve on sensor performance, but it's only a matter of time before they release new hardware.
#MAGIC LANTERN CANON DB LEVEL SOFTWARE#
Canon cameras are supported by some pretty awesome third-party software (ByEOS, DSLRController for Android). I won't invest in more gear until I know for certain that my gear and not my skill set is the limiting factor in image quality.ģ. Judging by the quality of my photos compared to others taken with the same gear, I recognize that my skill level hasn't gotten to the point yet where a difference in sensor performance would yield better pictures. Great optics have been producing great pictures for 100 years, there is almost no merit to blaming the sensor for poor image quality if it's only a few years old.Ģ. Great optics are great optics, any way you slice it, and they matter more than the sensor. I already have a large collection of EF mount lenses. Less talk, more doing AP = better AP.Īs a Canon user, my reasons for not switching are as follows:ġ. IMO it's only those in AP that are at a certain level that will even notice the difference between many of the tools. wouldn't need a mod.Īs an old saying goes: "It's a poor craftsman that blames his tools." So for most all this is just a matter of talk and most older Canon users won't miss what they don't have.Īnd IR-filter-removal modified cameras no matter the brand will help get h-alpha color faster, so I don't understand the reference to the exception to Canon mods, as if Nikon,etc.
I would gather there would be a small percentage that are at a level of processing skill and acquisition that could immediately tell the difference between the sensors if the workflow were the same. In all reality for all the posters on CN, etc. Check your facts.Īdditionally there is a lot of hype and gearhead and spec-nerd talk out there on the interwebs,īut it's a lot of busy-ness people occupy themselves with because they aren't out doing AP because of weather, etc. I also don't understand the reference to the A9? Do you think that camera would be better for DSO AP? If so, you are wrong. I wouldn't use a Canon body myself because I personally don't like the interface nor do I like the BYEOS interface,Īnd I'm sure can satisfy many that want to do AP with a certain workflow and price point. The above question is based on a false assumption contrary to such concept. Canon's sensors are just not at the level of the Sony sensors used in most other camera brands and aside from some weirdness with the new (expensive) Sony A9, it seems like people would get better results with Nikon, Pentax, etc.ĭoing AP is all about trade-offs and finding the tools that meet one's specific requirements.
