still life ~ matches # 3

Matches / cigar rings • click to embiggenIt appears from a first test that the Pentax K20D is better suited for the matches series than the Oly EP cameras. In this case, there is just enough additional fine detail resolution to make the Pentax the front runner, detail wise.

However, there really isn't much in it, re: the physical dimension of a 300dpi file. That is, the Pentax gets most of its additional mp in the horizontal plane, very little of it in the vertical plane. Consequently, it doesn't offer much advantage over the EPs in the way of embiggening, print wise.

That said, I'll continue the series with the Pentax until I make a decision about the Oly OM-D E-M5.
