A large part of pro photography is still photography... what the use of multishot does, is to align different pixels polluted on 2Gs, 1R & 1B at the same position and thus provide: 1. True color (all pixels behave like if they where recording in color without the Bayer pattern being involved and without color interpolation), 2. Complete moire elimination, 3. Ultimate sharpness, (what I call "pixel definition") 4. More than two stops of DR increase...
More than that..., some of the older MFDBs that use a Kodak sensor of 9microns pixel size, are able to do 16x (4x4=16) multishot... During this process, the pixel is moved in all directions, half a pixel's side length... the result is that each pixel splits in four other true color real pixels! ...and resolution is quadrupled, while the resolution required from the lens is still to serve the original sensor pixel... i.e. 9microns!!!
To give you an idea of the result, the largest image areas from these backs, where the now discontinued, Imacon 528c, the Sinarback 54H and the Hasselblad 22ms which replaced the Imacon, they all bear the Kodak 22mpx sensor and can provide 88 true megapixels if shot in 16x mode... if you compare that 88mpx outcome with the same picture taken with the most modern 80mpx single shot back, the difference in favor of the multishot back, is huge and obvious in all aspects that a photographer would consider..., Its more, ...much more, than if you was to compare a D800 with an old D200...
I am sorry I can't let you see a full size image of painting reproduction I do for my clients using an Imacon 528c... but let me give you an idea out of a hugely compressed file that I present in my web page, in which the covering is a highly reflecting silver coating... the ikon presented is 3 feet tall!
I hope many of you will be involved and contribute in this discussion, which my intention is to include all the details and the techniques involved to maximize this superb's technological achievement's result... Thank you.
