... from Mamiya's 22 Mpixel medium format digital camera ...
I think I'll download a couple and crank up the ole Epson 4000 and see
how they look.

I downloaded on image Nature_A. I don't know what is wrong but it
looks pretty bad, full of noise, black specks.
There are also a lot of places where the detail seems to be just gone.

Film at 11.
Have they offered a ship date?

1. Anyone even considering this camera will know it.
2. Anyone who can afford this camera won't be on dial-up.

Not everyone is where you can get high speed.
Then too to save bandwidth they would like not everyone to download the
images.
Also the one image I looked at was so bad I would think they would not
want anyone to download them.

They forgot one more warning:
3. Warning, camera is vaporware.

Odd, when you consider there are several medium format digitals out
there now. I wonder if they had trouble with the reflex system, the
mirror mechanism, due to it's size?

I haven't made it to the stores yet today (and won't be able to), but the
Japanese camera magazines that hit the streets yesterday claim that it'll be
in the stores today (it's 11:20 Wednesday morning here).
(FWIW, every time I've noticed a camera announcement with a date on it (in a
Japanese magazine), the stores in Tokyo have actually had it on that date.)

Noise? You can't be looking at the same image I just downloaded.

Yes that's kinda odd. The other "C" landscape has some of this as well, not
as pronounced. I wonder if it's a jpeg issue or do the tiffs/RAW also have
this?

Probably from over compressing it?

Could be. I assume the camera puts out both raw and tiffs, niether of
which should show so much lost of detail. Given the rather large size
of the jpeg files I would not expect so much loss in detail from
converting to jgeg.
