Your list shows how hard it's going to be for Nikon to come up with something that would make D5 owners to update, IMO. (1) High ISO is as good as it can get or very close to that - you'd be lucky to ...

Every possible answer has been posted. So we can wrap this up.

Enough time for the O/P to buy the A7RIII, sell it (not the lens he wanted), buy a D850, sell it (too many pixels), buy a 1Dx, sell it (too heavy), buy a Fuji XT something, sell it (too small). So ...

The issue is rare and the camera is not defective. Yours may be though, You bought the camera "grey"? Sorry for your bad experience. But this is IMO bad advice: the vast majority of owners are very ...

The example provided in this link is not very good. The input file proposed contains only 0 and 1 (black and white) yet uses a byte per 0 and 1. That's a very inefficient way to store that data :-D ...

Oops ! :-O

close to 20% space savings w/o an IQ penalty - to me it has its usefulness

Haven’t we all be wrong, sometimes blatantly  wrong? If being blatantly wrong is what it takes to be an idiot i definitely quality as one :-)

A byte on its own can only store 0 or 1, and no 6 2 5 etc. Convert 60106160215014051 to binary. What happens?

I see your point, and it is an interesting one. Since there are so many possible values it seems unlikely that the same value repeats itself. This certainly affects the compression algorithm which ...

And compressed. Between compressed and lossless compressed. Not they call it lossless because it is lossless. Where does it say in the article above that there is no visible difference in quality ...

Nobody "bullied" him. But it's like if someone wrote the earth is a cube. Expect a lot of push back. :-D The info you found is not relevant see further. No, compression does not have to lose ...

It does, but with a different name. And, yes, I've used it and it works well. I have made no comparison with the A7R3, so I can't comment which one is better.

Glad to read this is resolved. Congratulations !

I've made it until it became clear that some insecure photog who has invested in Sony and is concerned that Nikon's ML may be better is trying to reassure himself. Then I re-listened one more time ...

It’s an ad, nothing less nothing more although more sophisticated than most ads I think it’s doing very well what it has been created for: to build anticipation and excitement I enjoy watching them ...

Since it's become nasty down here

Also I must point out that it could also be, in theory, 315 degrees CW and any combo of the above with one or several 360° rotations :-D

As much as you want for the shadows because the "visually lossless" compression only kicks in for mid-tones and highlights. The "visually lossless" algorithm uses a lossless compression for shadows. ...
