Don't forget that you can use pixel binning in 6k sensor, it doesn't have to be 2x2 (skip some of greens for example). So yea no crop is possible.
-
For full sensor readout they have to make a stacked BSI sensor, which they haven't made yet. You don't introduce your state of the art fab tech in a consumer body, do you? Unless a big surprise is coming. Honestly I'd like to see the surprise from Nikon.. because a surprise from the last one who enters the party will be dramatic :-)

Sony should rethink their ergonomics.. even with just one picture, its obvious this Canon is way better in handling than any A6xxx.

AF is good to have, but if you gonna shoot with that like handycam, isn't full frame and particularly D850 overkill for that style of shooting? Its like saying I need 50mp cam with good Auto mode for my Instagram posts! If you do top quality work, you wouldn't trust AF. Even the smartest ones are dumb.. they can't realize which objects worth to be focused, which one is likely to be next target, how fast should be transition, and how long should keep doing nothing. (Maybe one day AI comes to help, but even AI is usually programmed to do routines, it can't read your mind). On the other hand, AF lenses are designed for photography where focus breathing is not such an important issue, and none of them are parfocal (except new fly by wire lenses). NatGeo shooters are using RED with white exotic Canon tele lenses on it, and focus manually, even in tracking a fast animal. Think about that. Even a tiny focus hunting, or faster than intended transition is not allowed in that thin DoF. IBIS is also good to have, but eliminates the chance of sensor chip to get rid of its heat, which translates to higher noise at pixel level. Again if you do top quality work (or trying to get the best quality work possible with a top still camera), you wouldn't like to have any extra noise. The best approach is what Samsung did: optical+electronic stabilization.

Even with this crazy specs they can't get considerable market share. At best case scenario it will eat their own D750 lunch.
-
It might be politically incorrect opinion here but 90 percent of scenes we tend to shoot need just 9 stop of DR, or less :-)
-
Its not a rumor, its just clickbait BS. Nikon didn't even share a bit of F mount protocol with them that resulted horrible AF experience with almost any ART lens. They're too far from doing collaborative projects, let alone being friends. But Sigma will start reverse engineering the Z the first day the first Nikon mirrorless is available in the market. BTW, Nikon just filled a patent for mirrorless 14-28mm f/2.8 lens. I hope they deliver this one.
-
None of Canon mirrorless bodies have 4k, full read out or crop, and none of them have IBIS. But they're stealing market share from Sony, Olympus and Panasonic. What we perceive as a successful product could be very different from what the company managers see as successful. Anyway, at least we'll have a better-suited-for-FF mount. I post this in other forums and put it here too: Z mount has more than 6 degrees advantage over E mount. This let them, and third party lens makers, try some interesting optical designs. From insanely wide aperture to insanely wide focal length.
-
I guess they used their temporal noise reduction for still too. I mean camera keeps taking pictures even after you release the shutter button, but doesn't save them, just uses the data to clean the noise of the first frame.
-
These days being asshole is rewarded with popularity. Maybe that Japanese guy decided to end his life for this very reason, and accidentally proved his point after he died. I respect him.

Whatever pre-production mirrorless Nikon ambassadors are testing right now
-
before power-assisted steering, steering needed higher skill and more effort. now its easier and fun. we wouldn't have much of the tools we have today if we didn't try to bypass the traditional skills whats wrong with that? people are working to make autonomous fighter jets, helicopters, trucks and cars. a video camera is more complicated than those things? we dont even asked them to make it fully autonomous.. we just expect it to keep the damn subject in focus. good luck with that in metro stations.. or any public location.

Can you shoot the international space station with a Micro Four Thirds camera?
ND64 replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
600mm on D7500 is equal to 900mm. 4k crop is 1.45, so its 1305mm. 2x crop for 1080p goes to 2600mm. -
This still image is taken at ISO 12800, 1/50s (same as needed for 25fps video) and f/5.6 so even if your camera is 2 stop worse than D750, you can use a f/2.8 lens and stay at ISO 3200 and get similar result.
-
you change/check setting while you are not looking through VF or LCD? why? I use both pro and entry level DSLRs and when I use the later, I never miss the top LCD.
-
everything you can read from top LCD, you can see through view finder, or rear LCD. its just make it "look pro", and thats it.
-
of course its better, but not taking-up-2.5x-more-storage-space better.
-
How you know people truly like it when people haven't seen a truly HDR TV? Most of HDR models support 10bit but are not significantly brighter than conventional TVs. They should be much brighter to make a wow.. and do it without skyrocketing the power bill. People liked 3D, but they didn't want to wear something to see the effect.
-
Tascams have a CAMERA OUT port, I haven't used them yet.. is it silly to mix with such a recorder and send to the DSLR? How it does affect quality?
-
Lol I take my word back.. apparently even full sensor readout can't eliminate alialiasing. Look at the reflection on the brush. A6500 has the sharpest and most detailed 4k image in their database, and yet there is this. Maybe something is wrong with DPR frame grab compression.
-
you cant get rid of aliasing without full sensor readout. but you can get the color right without full sensor readout
-
What's questionable about the mount? I don't like that Pentax style pins, but is there downsides with this design? Also they said 58mm diameter while looks smaller than EF mount.
-
I once worked on a simulation based on state of the art climate model when I was helping my sister for her master thesis. Had to study many things to figure out what's going on. And I was blown away by the magnitude of uncertainty we had to deal with. These people think they're the only ones who play with these toys.
