Hi folks, I was looking at some 5 megapixel (Canon G5) sample images to get some idea how the might compare against my 2820 dpi scanner. I know I have read in the past that, despite the large difference in file sizes and pixel counts, a 5MP camera isn't as far behind a 2820 dpi scanner as it might seem.
Certainly the sample G5 images looked reasonable but, on one image of a house, the fine roof tile details had generated a fairly obvious moire pattern. This is something I have never come across on any of my film scans. Have I just got lucky on my scans or is moire more likely to happen with digicams? Also, does the processing affect this? The G5 image in question was available on the Web as both a camera produced Jpeg and as a RAW file: when I processed the RAW file in Vuescan to produce a 16 bit TIFF and applied edge sharpening in Photoshop, the moire was more noticable than in the Jpeg - but there was also much more fine detail than in the Jpeg. I'm just curious to know why there seems to be this apparent difference between digicams and scanners!
