In what I downloaded from the Japanese site, the comparisons were apples to
oranges to my eye. The full frame LS-4000 shot did not download fully or
properly. But from what I downloaded and saw, the magnification was much
larger than the D1x shot. From what I saw, the grain on the edges was
pretty sharp with the LS-4000 shot. The lack of image sharpness may be due
to a camera lens that is not sharp edge to edge. Not being able to read
Japanese, I could not discern the author's scientific method. There are a
lot of variables with this kind of testing that need to be neutralized as
much as possible.
I have had no experience with any lack of edge to edge sharpness on my
LS-40. I believe the optics are very similar to the LS-4000.
