Eric Calabros Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Nikon's CEO thinks the only way to survive smartphone aggression is pushing 8k video! https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20170819-00000005-asahi-bus_all Is more pixels the reason people are supposed to upgrade from iPhone to dedicated camera? Even so I don't know why they think 8k is off limits for smartphone. Yes its too much for "one" tiny sensor, but soon they put "four" 4k camera modules close to each other and with some deconvolution algorithms extract a descent 8k video out of that. Then what? I bet old men in Sony and Canon headquarters are also thinking like Mr. Ushida. More pixels, higher frame rates, high bitrate files, many core processors, larger bandwidth.. that we enthusiasts love to see in our next gear, but they should know that.. this strategy is like having no strategy at all.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted August 19, 2017 Administrators Share Posted August 19, 2017 There's already been an 8K resolution smartphone camera... 41MP Nokia PureView 808 with 1" sensor. The problem for Nikon is twofold... They haven't delivered a compelling innovative camera for enthusiasts... The Df was a disaster. Their enthusiast mirrorless is nowhere. Their lack of dual pixel af a real problem too. Consumers have moved onto phones, but Nikon have showed zero expertise or understanding of the online services and apps market.
