You do? I'm not a pro sports photographer but "spray and pray" is the last thing I imagine them doing. I think they are skilled and experienced enough to have the timing down and know that a very short press of the shutter is going to give them the shot they want. If not, they're going to be going through those 10,000 shots while their fellow photographers are beating them to submission/posting.
Given that the talking heads already have their pre-production versions, and B&H is taking backorders, I think February might be a reasonable expectation.
No idea, but it's been around for at least 20 years (google shows ieee papers that refer to global shutters from 2003, anyway).
Not only that, it can't be left on an incline because of it's rolling shutter.
I think he's saying the same thing as you.. there's close to 0 use-case for 120fps in action-sports/competition. High-speed photography is used in sports-analysis today and probably the smallest jpeg is more than enough and there are already cheaper solutions.
I'm guessing that might actually end up appealing more to ultra high speed photography, things like water droplets, exploding objects, etc.
Global was also probably used as it usually means (roughly) "everything". My guess is that if we called it something like "full sensor shutter" that may confuse some people or get misinterpreted.
for the meteorologists on March 1. It's a leap year, which gives Sony an extra day
Chris and Jordan did a buffer test in their firsthand-on video.
That means lower end bodies are in the pipeline.
And if they're increasing R&D, we're not going to see the fruits of the R&D in the near future. It's going to be more downstream bodies down the line from now on if they're projecting more units of cameras and lenses sold. Things like your Z5ii, Z50ii, to name a few.
That's exactly what I asked myself before I hit the "Buy" button on B&H. I had to answer that the Z9 I'm working with is already beyond my needs. Never saw rolling shutter shooting fast moving birds. Mostly do landscapes which have been outstanding. As well as portrait work which has also been the best I've experiences in the 25 years I've been doing this. So needless to say I never hit that Buy button. Even the B&H rep whom I spoke to who was a photographer as well, stated the Z9 is already such an amazing camera by bother with a newly released global shutter if I don't do what what would illustrate an improvement. I also near NEVER use a flash. So I'm good to go.
There are uses for a global shutter. I feel no need to tell you what they are. If the scenarios where a global shutter is useful don't apply to your shooting then don't buy a camera with a global shutter. Really quite simple.
Which is why I bound Fn2 on my Z6, Z6ii and Z9 to Rating. See something I like, got a moment when there's no action, start rating away.
I've heard from Nikon, the R&D budget includes testing and refinement, as much as future products.
Was exactly what I was thinking when I made this tread.
I am with you all the way on this (except for the 60mp+ camera. Don't see any reason for that), and I guess most people agree that is the route Nikon need to travle.
The problem here is most people think every sport requires high shutter speeds and high iso at all times. the biggest drawback of this global shutter is the low base iso setting of 250iso many motor sport shooters will use a very low iso setting and very slow shutter speeds to get wheels and backgrounds blurred, Nikon did this for motorsport photographers.
Are you telling me that the D810 didn’t have a true base ISO 64? That’s news to me.
Putting the stacked 45mp image sensor in a Z6/Z7 body would be awkward in terms of clarity of model lineup. Moreover, it would tend to increase cost for those models. From a marketing sense, a Z7 III at stacked 45mp with EXPEED7 just basically becomes "a cheaper Z8 that's smaller and has fewer buttons." Unless they also remove features, which would generate instant negative online feedback.
I have no idea, but that is a quote from a Nikon sensor designer.
Definitely, they would need to make difficult decisions how to distinguish Z8 from such Z6 III and do not anger Z6 III buyers too much. I wanted to get a feedback what others think about such possibility. I understand your responses in a way that you think it's quite unlikely that it will happen. Am I right?
