A misunderstanding needs debunking: the apertures needed to get a given DOF lead to the same diffraction effects with the same image detail ("pixel count") in any format; just at a proportionately...
-
MrQuimper, I hear there are many ways that people can instantly share photos from their phones with friends.
-
SD Express changes to the same PCIe (one lane) and NVM, so it is roughly comparable to CFExpress type A and about half the speed of Type B. I don’t know it compares for robustness and such, which...

Phase One already has a product line for drone photography: https://geospatial.phaseone.com/cameras/ixm-100/ The XC offers none of the remote operation controls and only one lens choice, so is not...
-
To be fair, it does not weigh much more than either a Fujifilm GFX 100s or Hasselblad X2D 100C with their widest lens option
-
The lens on it own is about US$12,000, so a bit under $5000 extra for the "integrated body". Could it make sense to offer several bodies based on several XT lenses? Compared to an Alpa body (or XT...
-
This costs about $5,000 more than an XT view camera body with the same back and 23mm Rodenstock lens. Quite a premium for a modest weight reduction, whole losing the other lens options and controls...

I think my comments about HEIC/HEIF have been misunderstood. There is no sign that it is replacing JPEG anytime soon, if ever; what I meant by "universal" is that there is hardware support for it ...
-
There is now at least one good, fairly universal alternative to JPEG for "instantly viewable camera output": HEIC, part of the " High Efficiency Video Compression " (H.265) video standard, which ...
-
Thanks Jim, I thing the difference is that I am talking about the detail to be seen in the "raw" image whereas you are allowing for post-processing with deconvolution sharpening — where it seems ...
-
I’m not clear about the aliasing issue (do you have a link on that) but diffraction at a given f-stop is also a limit on resolution: at f/11 in 44x33 format, the Airy disks are about three times ...
-
I agree that Pentax was eventually held back by seeking compatibility with 645 format SLR technology—both the lenses and the body with a 645-sized reflex viewfinder system; Fujifilm and Hasselblad ...
-
I agree with TechTalk that Hasselblad is probably following the best route for a “general purpose, carriable” system in what I suspect is the largest viable digital format for that, 44x33: the ...
-
Thanks Jim for that wonderful blog post; I have added it to my reading list. My simplest take-homes: - when shooting “equivalently” (same FOV, DOF and exposure duration), a larger format can ...
-
Rich, no question that these 44x33 format live view cameras can give very good results hand-held, and that once you have one, occasionally pushing the ISO speed up makes more sense than carrying a ...
-
Yes: if, as you suggest, diffraction sets an upper limit of about f/11 before the detail recorded drops significantly below "100MP worth", then (as I argue above), the DOF and strength of OOF ...
-
I'v seen just a few with digital kit like a Hasselblad H body with digital back—but no disagreement that there is very little evidence that "hand-holdable and 100MP+" is a market large enough to ...
-
Your f/11 and my f/2 agree; they are measuring different things. Firstly, the DOF (when viewing "normally" in each case, as with same sized prints viewed from the same distance) varied with format: ...
-
I am inclined to agree: though I have seen a few examples of medium format DSLR's used hand-held, it always struck me as ostentation, not a realistic need for such high resolution. But no, I only ...
-
In a sense, my question was about whether there will be sufficient use cases for a "hand-holdable, general purpose" EVF camera system with the 54x40mm sensor to be commercially viable; quite ...
