Hello,
I was wondering if anybody can comment on the quality of contrast in the
pictures taken with a point and shoot digital camera compared to the one
obtained on 35mm film.
I have seen pictures from Canon A520 and a few older models. I can
usually pick them out from the ones scanned from negatives quite easily.
The ones taken with digital cameras usually appear to have less contrast
and less amount of colors (less saturated colors?).
Anybody know of any recent digital cameras in which the colors are
better and we can have more contrast? I know this may appear to be a bit
vague, but related comments are welcome.
The main reason is that film has a toe in its characteristic
curve and digital cameras are linear. They are also linear
at the low end after the "gamma" tone curve is applied.
Learn to use curves to add an s-curve response to give a
film-like response. You can boost contrast in camera, but
post processing gives more control over shadow and highlight detail.
