I wonder why they didn't use this sensor for Burano. FX6/9 target market is mostly ENG and documentary and events and weddings and things like that. None of them doing this stuff say I want 8k30 from 12k sensor. Why not give them A9iii global shutter sensor in a lighter body than fX6 and modern menu with a bigger screen?

Probably because it wasn't ready for the Burano, time and technology marches on. A future Fuji GFX camera with a 12K sensor is an appealing prospect though. Full frame sweet spot I think is 8K.

8K sampled from 12K should be really good 8K and it's basically how you'd get 4:4:4 quality from a bayer sensor.

If the FX8 specs are as-rumored, it could be a real hit.  Though if Sony try to sell it for $6K+, it'll be a really hard sell.  If they don't, it'll be cool to see the prices drop on their existing camera line-up.

Here's my dumb-ass-getting-older-by-the-second-opinion:  In an era where some people are starting to look back at 80's and 90's films while saying, "Why don't movies look as good as that anymore"?  I'm not eager to jump into the high-resolution-hyper-DR-fray.

The best looking film I ever made was in 1080p on consumer cameras before I really was trying to do a hell of a lot with color grading.

There's GOT to be a push back at intense IQ realism in cinema sooner or later, right? Right? Ah, wtf do I know?

People fight over who has closer DR and latitude to Alexa 35, then apply a LUT that drops the DR to 6 stops to look like Heat 1995.
