The Hasselblad H4D-60 has a 54x40mm sensor, so it's not just phase. The S2 is rather small to be calling itself medium format though.

Actually you can "create" results in resolution using software, if you know exactly how the image was blurred. However imprecise knowledge of the blurring operator and noise in the image limit the...

You're paying for aesthetics and build quality as well as optics, to get anything similar for F/EF and you have to look to Zeiss

N.B. I really can't predict what Pentax are going to do format wise - as they're the manufacture of the world's smallest format interchangeable lens camera (the Q) and also the worlds largest...

Are they optimised for APS-C though? Someone on here reported the Pentax primes all cover the 135 format (presumably being based on 35mm film designs).

Now this doesn't mean the area outside the...

Ignore that, don't know what I'm talking about.

A lot of these images represent people just doing what they love, and that includes the photographers too, many of whom probably don't care about the rights they're giving up, not everyone wants to...

It seems I can't access the BBC article because I'm from the UK...

Ad hominem attacks also decrease the SNR...

The problem might just as well lie with the camera body. At least Sigma is offering the means to fix it, wherever the problem lies

Reusability. Why carry a large high resolution LCD screen on the back of your camera, and another large high resolution LCD screen on your phone?

Performance of recent fixed lens compacts has been...

Current digital sensors/microlens arrays can't accept the light cone from an f/1.2 lens, let alone f/0.7, so the extra speed will go to waste.

There are plenty of ancient lenses that are unmatched...

The image you see on the focus screen is flat, so that's exactly what you want the smartphone to focus on. That's why you can get the DOF of a 35mm sensor using a smartphone, you're not really...

@Frank_BR

The design brief was to produce a lens that would enable full resolution of 36MP sensors, not to specifically design for 36MP at the expense of higher resolutions. Designing a lens for a...

I think you missed the joke in the original post, that the UK price is always proportionately much higher than the US price!

There's a difference between what you product can technically do, and what your product can do reliably enough to enable the feature without unleashing a massive technical support burden.

jkoch2 There are at least three good reasons to want 4K recording even if neither you or anyone else has a 4K monitor:

1. Downsampling 4K to 2K improves image quality substantially
2. Recording at...

Light Pilgrim - you're thinking of the 18-35 f/1.8, which admitedly is only one number away from the 135 f/1.8!

Seatbelts don't randomly kill you when you're driving along normally though. IS systems are known to occasionally cause motion blur by erroneously detecting motion and moving the corrective group.

I agree it's quite soon after BlackMagic Cinema camera was released, but presumably they needed the sales from that product to fund development or demonstrate the market for this product. Due to...
