It's certainly impressively sharp and the color looks good, but that moiré effect you can see on the full res crop of the camera could be a source of frustration. I don't recall if I read it here or somewhere else where someone said they usually avoided using their 5D for executive portraits, because it tended to produce moiré patterns in men's suits. Do you see that elsewhere?
Will, can you test the effect of diffraction on IQ, maybe shoot at different apertures to compare detail lost or gained...
Bart, that is very impressive considering that the word "sensel" is not even in the dictionary yet..
This, crop of actual pixels. The image is, BTW, is 3.2:1 magnification (at Mac screen resolution), of the tiny 4.9 cm pewter chair!
Please post questions in this thread for faster response.

I am a layman regarding diffraction theory, so, can we translate this to photographic terms and say that a camera with smaller sensels will complain more -- in theory -- of diffraction syndrome that one with larger sensels?
And, what would be the best aperture for, say a 50mm/ f 1.4 ?
Would it be possible to make a (throw-away) Raw file available for download? And to amplify on your impressions, particularly with respect to the 1Ds2?
Nicolas, why not give SilkyPix a go!
I'd be interested see what you think of its rendering of 1DsMKIII raws.
Have you done any shooting at over ISO800?
