Resolution

To measure resolving power we photographed
the standard ISO 12233 test chart with each camera set to its best quality
JPEG settings. We then set the bundled lenses to f8 using Aperture Priority
mode. The crops are taken from the originals and presented here at 100%.
Each number represents 100 lines per picture height (lpph), so a figure
of 18 means a resolution of 1800 lpph. The image left was taken with the Nikon D50 using the 18-55mm DX at 35mm f8; the original JPEG measured 2.18MB. Resolving 1500 to 1650 lpph places the D50 above average for a 6 Megapixel D-SLR, but below the 350D. |
