I'm considering purchasing a new camera (Panasonic DMC-FZ330). Dave Phillips owns the predecessor camera, and has lent it to me to experiment with, and see how I get on with it. These are the results.

Shot on my Canon Rebel XT with the cheapest lens available (50mm f/1.8). 19 images were stitched together automatically using Hugin to create this 37 megapixel image. The virtual sensor area is close to 6x4.5cm medium format.
Next I want to do a wide angle image with my 85mm lens, covering roughly the same surface area as 4x5. That would yield a 290 megapixel image...
I am test-riding this little number. Was surprisingly stable on the highway even on a very windy day. And it kan keep up with the other traffic quite nicely.
This would be the 'sensible' choice for me. Reasonable price, good quality, but no gizmos or 'flash'. It lacks a certain gimme-gimme factor. Hmmmm.
Have to add that the seat is super-comfortable, and the build-quality feels superb.
Testing out my Sony NEX 6 with the e mount 35mm F1.8. This was taken in aperture priority mode F2.0 at ISO 800 with a 1/30 shutter speed. I could have easily backed down to ISO 400 at 1/15 of a second. This shot was taken very quickly and I didn't spend much time composing and dialing in the settings.
A Lens Test too.
Along with the before mentioned Camera I got a new lens also, that I tested on the digital camera . It's the Konica AR 135mm f/2.5 - this is a lens I wanted to try for a long time. It's that tiny bit faster than the f/2.8 lenses that are very common with this FL. Of course you use these vintage lenses for boke(h). Not a great subject, but you get the idea ... This is wide open.

This is a test of my waterproof ink pens. I found I could get a nice range of grays by using one or two coats of various inks. Some of the combinations are similar, but I can get at least seven step grayscale from the paper color to black.

Another test, this time with a different lens, and much father away.
fstop = variable, shutter = 30, 15, 8, 4, 2, 1", 2", ISO = 800
This time I used a vintage lens. This lens is pre auto anything, and is a 135mm prime, promura 2.8. It doesn't do close focusing, so I had to be at least 7 feet from the subject to focus. I had said in my earlier tests that diffraction plays a part after f11, but I theorized that when you are further away, f16, and f20 might actually be crisper. This test proves it at least part of the way.
At f2.8 my image is a mess. It's blurry, no real definition, it's just a damn mess, which is a shame because the bokeh on this lens is crazy, and has a lot of personality. The draw back seems to be of course the crazy softness. This could be due to the slow shutter speed, but the later shots were done at an even slower speed, and I saw better results the further up I went in speed.
At f4 and 5.6 the clarity takes a major jump from unusable, to pretty nice.
When I get to f8 it really starts to shine, but what surprised me was f11 and f16. F16 for the first time in all of these tests actually looks crisper than f11, and f22 aint so bad either. So this begs the question, how much better or worse will the focus get the further out the camera gets from the subject.
My next test will use the same lens, and settings, but will be from an even further distance approaching infinity.

Test roll 1 from the Canon EOS 3. There's a bit of a learning curve, but all in all, I'm happy with the purchase. My portraits from this roll turned out the best.
There does seem to be a tendency to overexpose, which I'll need to work on.
