Hi all,
I've been testing a few camera lens combinations and pixel peeping...
Cameras tested: D610 + D7100
Lenses tested: 35mm 1.8G DX, 17-55 2.8 DX
So I've taken a photograph from a tripod (which hasn't moved) using flash (TTL), camera settings have been the same throughout (RAW, 1/250, 1.8 or 2.8) on each camera with each lens. I've not used the DX crop on the D610. On the zoom I've zoomed to match the same zoom as the cropped 7100 (~19mm).
I was expecting to get very similar results e.g. compare the ~19mm zoom on the 17-55mm using the D610 as the image produced on the 17mm zoom on the D7100.
However, the D7100 is sharper, more contrast, more detail than the D610. Bokeh is more "creamy"/even on the D610 but is far softer.
Is this expected using this combination of FX body with DX lens or simply down to the pixel density?
Has anyone else done any similar tests with different results?
