Updated Digital Test

I added some classified ads so people can judge detail, too. I also think this exposure is better than the last one. I want to make these as accurate and consistent as possible. So I'm trying to develop a method that will be pretty easy to match every time. I have two big hot lights and I put the camera on spot meter (Olympus 5060), zoomed in, and metered off a gray card. That should be pretty easy to replicate with any camera.

The final photos will be uploaded at full resolution to the Digital Cameras Gallery. I'll post links to the photos on a page so that all of the tests are easy to find. The first camera I'll do a complete test with will be the Pentax *ist D.

Anything else I can do to make this better?

but this is also a challenge in DOF. The news paper should be in the center focus region.
