Even after all those impacts on the moon, and yet it's so perfectly round!
Posted by Lucidess at January 31, 2010 03:38 AMVery informative. Thanks!
Posted by Leon at January 31, 2010 03:48 AMhey i like these moons..hehe..very diff to what we see here !!!!
thx for informationZ!!
Posted by TM-IR at January 31, 2010 05:10 AMis possible to see a big impact on the moon surface.
Posted by christian at January 31, 2010 07:52 AMWhat is cropping to actual pixels? I never heard that saying. I use a D300 and Apple Aperture for managing.
Posted by tom at January 31, 2010 08:11 AMThe first one (Canon) has significantly more detail.
Posted by Roberto at January 31, 2010 08:51 AMBeautiful images. I of course prefer the 5D2 version =) I'd love to know how you capture the moon like this. When I try it just turns into a big glowing ball of light with no detail.
Posted by Shawn Bierman at January 31, 2010 09:13 AMNow if only Canon could package the 5D quality into a camera the size of the GF1. :)
That'll happen, one day.
Great comparison. I've been considering a GF1, but I'm not keen on the lack of image stabilization.
Sure amazing shot with Mark II, yet, I am impressed with GF1 result!
Posted by Afra at January 31, 2010 10:51 AMGreat presentation ! Nice and simple examples.
Posted by Nicolas at January 31, 2010 05:01 PMI shot a photo of the moon on Saturday night using my 5D2. It was an incredible sight. I wish you had your 200mm with a 2x extender for this shot. Imagine that!
Posted by Jason at January 31, 2010 05:05 PMBoth are poetic. I wish that I had shot the moon that night as you did. January moons are special as your photos show.
Posted by Barbara M at February 2, 2010 12:38 PMActually not as big a difference as you might think. Once you size down the picture (after the crop factor increased it) to the same size as the L lens shot the differences are small. A little sharpening in Photoshop and there is almost no difference at all - except for the fact you are missing a lot of picture which doesn't matter too much when it is black sky around the moon.
Posted by Joel at February 2, 2010 01:11 PMHey nice shot there.
I shot the exact same thing with my 200 2.8 L on a Canon 50D. Please have a look :

Posted by Kshitij Garg at February 3, 2010 12:43 AM IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE YOU JUST ZOOMED IN WITHOUT FOCUSING ,THAT'S HOW MUCH I KNOW ABOUT THESE NEW FANGLED CAMERAS ,I'M A 35MM MAN .
THE PERSON TRYING TO SHOW US HIS VERSION MUST
HAVE BEEN STANDING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD,
IT'S UP-SIDE-DOWN , ON HIS HEAD .
YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG ,BUT ARE'NT THESE TWO PHOTOS TURNED ABOUT 30' CLOCKWISE ?
Posted by FAST EDDIE at February 4, 2010 07:19 PMIf I'm not mistaken the GF1 is diffraction limited at f11 so it's not a very fair comparison.
