noone Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 It isn't using the same sensor as the Sony camera but I do think it is a Sony sensor made for Nikon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom Hogan lays out a pretty convincing argument for that being the case, he's well plugged into Nikon-land. It has the Sony DR jump at ISO 400, similar to the bump Sony's see at 640, but with a base ISO lower than Sony's 100. Until Chipworks does a teardown and analyzes the sensor, or another camera comes out with the same sensor, we won't know.

Matthew Capowski Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I saw it stated in several places that the sensor wasn't made by Sony but it appears that (and I) may be wrong: https://nikonrumors.com/2018/06/15/new-reports-indicate-that-the-nikon-d850-sensor-imx309aqj-is-made-by-sony.aspx/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trek of Joy Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I believe the source of all the non-Sony speculation was the angry photographer guy on youtube that just sits in front of a mic and blabbers about cameras. I don't watch his stuff because he posts 5 or 6 videos every day with no content other than himself. I don't know how anyone can take him seriously. But he's been called out for false claims before and I'm sure it will happen again. He's also been called out for stealing other people's images and claiming them to be his own. That alone gets a permanent ignore from me. Though I did watch the "Shootout" with Jason Lanier and my suspicions were confirmed watching angry guy fumble with his camera like a 15-year-old trying to undo a bra for the first time - he's just a gear collector. At least it puts that silly debate to rest. Cheers Chris noone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His instagram is laughably mediocre, bad snapshots with $10k in GFX gear. Proof positive its the person behind the lens. I hate to give him any publicity, but here's his drivel. He's now accusing the equally odd Jason Lanier of some pretty harsh things after he got dropped by Sony. The Youtube soap opera is nothing short of pathetic. , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noone Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I have not watched his stuff for ages but that is one strange person. I watched a dozen or so just now tyring to see if there were ANY that made sense to me (there are not). He seems to get more anti Sony by the day (if that is even possible). Has he acknowledged he was wrong about the sensor anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been a fan of Jason Lanier, although I sometimes watched his videos, but I did admire his promotional efforts as at one point he did seem to be everywhere you turned to look.

Super Members BTM_Pix Posted June 26, 2018 Super Members Share Posted June 26, 2018 The angry fella does, to be fair, have good insights regarding Nikon lenses. And magnets. I always make a point of tuning to his fuming reactions after the married couple make one of their educational statement videos. In my imagination, they are the yuppy couple who've moved in next door to him and he's got a backyard full washing machines and Triumph moterbikes in various states of disassembly and in theirs they've got a hot tub and a mid life crisis Harley Davidson. They think he plays AC/DC as an act of aggression and he thinks they have their teeth whitened in an act of passive aggression. noone, hansel and Inazuma 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoScoops Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 On Lanier's site his catchphrase seems to be "you only have one chance to get it right". Obviously never shot raw with the D750. IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll rephrase that as he knows more about magnets than I do so our respective knowledge levels about them are poles apart. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I'm glad to hear it is a new mount, as I want Nikon to go with a shallow mount, but it will mean a big big BIG risk for Nikon! Then need to pull off their adapter to their Nikon F lenses to be absolutely flawless, and introduce very quickly a strong range of compelling new lenses.
