RogerOverallHi Kevin,
Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment.
The problem with showing files on screen is that they can never really show what we were seeing. Online photography forums and review sites are full of fairly meaningless comparison photographs cropped to 100%. The I80 wins that hands down. But it's not a real world representation. Nobody puts files that large on screen for normal portfolio applications.
Our test showed that printed on 60x40 inch paper and viewed at a sensible viewing distance (ie, not with your nose right up against the print), the differences were there but minute. Certainly not reflecting the massive price difference between the two cameras.
Hope that gives you some insight into our thinking.
Kevin_PrichardIt is unfortunate that one cannot stop or start the audio stream here on audioboo.fm. Seems like a basic.
I've inadvertently stopped and restarted this page four or five times now, just getting logged in to post this comment.
I suggest using YT or Vimeo. Your commentary on the D800E vs IQ180 is vital, and must include visuals.

Just read the spec on the Phase One P45 digital back ! Astounding piece of photography equipment ... and similarly astounding price tag :/

macolganInteresting project to look forward to !
If the cross media presentation is called " transmedia " are the participants " transmediants " :/
If at the same time a technical field comparison is being carried out on equipment , does that then create a completly new category / terminology ?
what would that be I wonder :)

omaniblogThis will be fun - it may also be a valuable bit of exposure for Nikon because it's an example of customers taking your product & testing it their way. This will also be watched by photographic magazines who until now had a monopoly on testing products.
Bernie Goldbach @topgold has agreed to be our consultant/adviser in relation to the Google Hangout that he so brilliantly executed in Clonmel with local Chamber of Commerce & students at LIT multimedia department.
The term "trainsmedia" has its students as it emerges alongside the new technology. But, for me, it is the emergence of new imagining that captures my passion. This experience will be communicated face-to-face, on telephone, in writing via Twitter & blogs, in still & moving imagery, in audio via Audioboo - Google Plus will be an experimental field - and there will be a trace left behind for the historians & descendants to pour over.
History is being made - you are part of it as you read this.
Thank you Roger Overall for letting me attach myself to the great idea that you "Circle of Confusion" have spawned.
