So what do they mean by claiming that it's twice as fast at read out? Is that in video mode only?
At this point, I have no idea.
If that's what they meant, it would have been nice if they had said so.
I was really excited about the native iso 80 and twice as fast read out, and look who's the tricked kid now? ...ME lol.
Yeah, that's where I think they did really, really bad, to say at least.
Thats really a shame. Fuji could have increase 100ii price to $10k -$15k and equip with better, proven premium parts.
Twice as fast of 1/10000000000 is 1/100000000000 but can you realize it. It’s all marketing garbage.
How long if takes the camera to read all the image data off the sensor. Faster means less rolling shutter.
I wonder if it's a translation error in the marketing. They probably meant 2x internal bandwidth to benefit FPS, clearing the buffer, processing intense video codecs, etc. because right after that they mention FPS and video. If it had been 2x sensor readout speed, they would have mentioned rolling shutter reduction specifically.
They also said it was a new sensor, and it’s looking more and more like the old sensor with a few tweaks.
Is it a new sensor if it's just a variant of its predecessor? In English there's a big difference between a new sensor and a new version of a sensor.
I think they claim new microlenses as well that improve corner sharpness. That interests me more than the readout speed claims. If the same lens can be tested on the 100S and 100II and compared for corner sharpness that would be nice.
I am under the impression that readout speed is critical in a mirrorless cameras focus system
