Anybody have any information or an opinion on digital photography vs. slide film in relation to waterfall photography? By digital photorphy I mean digital SLRs (and not medium or large format)
Specifically, I'd like to compare using Fuji Velvia slide film vs. the new 12.2MP Canon Digital Rebel XSi, which I'm considering to purchase for just this purpose.
(1) Various sources state that the effective digital equivalent for Velvia is between 10-16MB which is within grasp of the Rebel. Do you agree with these sources?
(2) I typically use F/16-F/22 with my slide flim. This may seem like a stupid question, but can digital cameras reach this kind of wide detail in landscape shots? The aperture on cameras never seems to extend this far (see question 3!)
(3) Is there a good website that compares aperture per regular film to aperture per digital? Can they even be compared?
(4) I LOVE the tendency of Velvia film to really accentuate blues & greens. I have solid Photoshop skills, but I doubt I can make changes as impressive using digital images. Is this possible with Photoshop or with the camera?
Thanks!
