:dunce: :D
dpreview.com was a site I checked out; not much in the way of commentary and I was hoping for their official review (which was why I got the Finepix E550)
But I did find out enough that the Z6 makes for soft prints (use unsharp mask like I do for scanned film and that problem is nixed)
But for chromatic aberration, an ounce of prevention is usually better than a pound of cure. I do have PSP9, before the buggers at corel bought JASC out. It works, but in pictures with lots of purple in them, discretion is needed.
I've played with the Z6 - antishake is indeed awesome. But I am concerned about noise levels beyong ISO 100, even though I've got a noise cleaner that I use for film images (which makes film about as sharp as digital, but I can use large print sizes and maintain a non-stretched 300DPI (13x19")).
Comparing pics of the Fuji and Konica-Minolta, Fuji is clearly superior in the chromatic aberration department. And comparing one scene pic that's identical between the two, there's virtually no haloing around contrasty objects on the E550. The Z6 has is quite obvious here. :-(
I've downloaded a sample pic oif the Z6 and will work on it, to see if I can go above the 8x10" maximum that one reviewer had said. (a 6mp camera that's useless above 8x10" isn't worth anyone's money. Not when every store has a card plaque reading "Can print beyond 20x30"!!!" which is still a lie as 20x30 involves a lot of cropping to maintain the original pic's aspect ration, unless there's a 3:2 setting and most people don't use that...)
