This comparison with EMCCD, in my opinion, is biased. A large pixel can always beat a small pixel sensor given a equivalent QE and read noise. All single photon detection these days are using EMCCD...

And they send the sensor to Chipworks for SEM peeping:http://www.chipworks.com/blog/recentteardowns/2012/11/08/inside-the-nikon-d600/ The high ISO ability is given by the perfect design and...

Speculation often leads to bigger surprises, Chipworks has now made a blog post:http://www.chipworks.com/blog/technologyblog/2012/10/23/full-frame-dslr-cameras-part-1-nikon-vs-sony/And this T6...

I don't think they are related to this issue. The only reason I would suspect is the dynamic range in D4 is not as high in D800. For low light performance, I would say D4 will be superior because...

Thanks!And I also find you can zoom beyond 1:1 to provide better clarity at pixel level.

Several months ago there has been a discussion on the read noise and full well capacity of D4 sensor when the camera is release. Now Chipworks finishes their teardown report on the sensor. Even...

Recent finding by me has shown 1:1 liveview in D7k and D5100 is not window readout but rather "all pixel scan" mode! This is simply proven by magnified all the way into bottom left corner while the...

Thanks, Mic!This behavior of liveview is known in D300s and D7000 because for focus it needs to skip lines in order to obtain a high frame rate.For Electronic first curtain, simply set to Quiet...

Thanks,This is definitely an improvement!BTW, what kind of magnification will you get?Is there any electronic first curtain when you use Quiet mode + Live view?

Hi there,Can anyone with D600 give me a clue on whether its liveview is interpolated as D800 when magnified? Is it a 1:1 video stream from sensor?
