[Tig] Spirit vs. DSX

[Rob Lingelbach]

this is possibly going to open more than one can of worms, but I  
thought it worthwhile to hold forth on a subject that can be, well,  
subjective in the extreme.

I've worked recently on a DSX and on a Spirit.  Independently of  
resolution, my basic observation is as follows:

DSX:  Depth.  "filmic."  images that bring a feeling of film in the  
sense of having the properties of film.   Very hard to put into words.

Spirit: Color rendition much better than DSX, in separation terms.   
Certain hues, in particular cyan, are more faithful and seem  to defy  
the CIE colorspace and the phosphors of our trusty Sonys.   But: a  
flatter image than DSX - initially lacks depth (the portuguese word  
serves it well: profundidade) but can be adjusted and perfected by  
good colorist with various tools.
