Something queer about this beer

[plonq]

atara and I swung by Half Pints and grabbed some of their latest seasonal beer yesterday. We missed it last year because we were out of town when it was released, but by all accounts it sold out in about 30 minutes anyway, so it is debatable if we would have scored any of it anyway.

We have not opened any of this yet, but we got to sample some of it up in their tasting room, and I must say this is a very agreeable lager. Apparently they have changed the formula since last year (when it was released to rave reviews), but they assured us that this year's is better.

These two pictures were taking with two different cameras; one with my newer Canon S100, and the other with my old (recently returned from the shop) Nikon D80. I think that both pictures turned out ok, but the one from the Nikon is a bit better IMO. I think the Canon does a bit better of a job in lower light conditions thanks to its CMOS sensor, but the Nikon wins for overall clean shots because of its larger (in size, not megapixels) sensor and better lenses.

See if you can guess which one is which.

The one on the left is the D80... I think?

The one on the right. It wasn't really a fair question because the composition of the pictures is different, and they've both been processed somewhat in Photoshop.

While I am impressed by the performance of the little Canon, it just doesn't capture the same level of detail as the Nikon in spite of its higher megapixel rating. The larger sensor and better lens on the older DSLR still wins the day.

I was going off of color reproduction (which may have been altered in post); I can see more colors on the left than the right.
A bigger sensor is always better, which is why I may buy a D800
