Seems like a toss up, give up quality and detail for a minor stitch issue.

I can’t recover detail in a blurry stitch but I CAN take two photos with Aleta and usually the second won’t have stitch issues.

But a blurry stitch defeats the purpose of big sensors that give more detail.

I could put the stitch line on unimportant objects I guess.

I may revisit that camera if I choose that method and just run it through Topaz gigapixel.

Hi John. The softness along the stitch line is normal. Although X2 and Aleta don’t have them, X2 and Aleta have other issues such as stitching errors. So it depends whether you prefer to avoid stitching errors or soft stitch lines.

In your sample if you look out the window from the interior shot, the palm tree on the left is way blurrier than the one on the right, these are the issues I had with the Z1.

I have not had these issues with the X2 or Aleta.
