Re: Lytro cameras

The Canon EOS 50D is equipped with a new 15.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, measuring 22.3x14.9mm. It generates 3:2 aspect ratio images with a maximum resolution of 4752x3168 pixels, which gives it 864 more pixels horizontally and 576 pixels vertically than the EOS 40D; at 300 dpi, this allows the 50D’s images to be printed at 15.8x10.5in to the 40D’s 13x8.6in. The 12.2 Megapixel EOS 450D / XSi falls roughly in-between the two.
Canon 50D - quality The 50D’s JPEGs can be recorded at two lower resolutions (8 and 3.7 Megapixels) and with the choice of Fine or Normal compression. RAW files are of course offered, although unusually again in the choice of three resolutions: either the full 15.1 Megapixels, 7.1 Megapixels in SRAW1 mode or 3.8 Megapixels in the new SRAW2 mode.
Cleverly the RAW and JPEG options can be set separately, allowing you to choose any combination. So if recording both JPEG and RAW, you could have RAW, SRAW1 or SRAW2, accompanied by a JPEG at any of the three resolutions or two compression settings. Best quality Large Fine JPEGS typically measure between 5 and 8MB each, while full-size RAW files measure 17 to 25MB each.
