FYI, up until the release of the BIONZ XR, specifications of Sony cameras with the BIONZ X clearly hinted at a bottleneck of around 500-600 megapixels/second (IIRC the A7R4 had some video specs ...

The high-level take I get from Jim's work is: So far, with the exception of really old cameras that suffered from IR contamination, no one has ever provided definitive evidence of any CFA being ...

As others have pointed out, if the HEIF came from a single capture, almost surely yes. Of course you've already lost information at this point. The assumption when you say "16 bit TIFF" is that it ...

Yeah. MP4 container (which is a subset of Quicktime MOV that is in general less capable but more standardized - e.g. that subset is part of the MPEG-4 standards) plus H.264 (outdated at this point ...

Techart has a VERY LONG and well established track record of "world's first!" proof-of-concept products that get abandoned immediately in favor of the next "World's First!" The Techart III EF->Sony ...

Interesting - if they only use gyro data that will only work for pans and not subject movement, but maybe they are doing motion estimation/optical flow tricks to identify subject motion and blur ...

A washed out look is pretty common if the file is (mis)interpreted as Rec.709 HLG was designed to have a "fallback" behavior on SDR displays that was "acceptable" - the problem is that "acceptable" ...

Yeah. By "professional" - they're really designed to be a capture tool that gives the user full control. This of course can mean "enough rope to hang yourself".  It's also for the most part ...

Yeah, all Sonys with HLG were 8-bit until the BIONZ XR (A7S3, A7M4, etc). The only difference between the three was that two of them would apply negative exposure compensation prior to HLG ...

It's a concern ffor 8 bit (Rec 2020 is pushing the limits for 8-bit, gamuts like S-Log2 and similar ones are too wide for 8, although chroma quantization looks more like blotches in dark areas ...

Since the output of powerbanks like this is highly regulated (unless you use a special type of powerbank with D-tap outputs or something like that, but even then it might be generating that output ...

I disagree with the last statement, at least for Google's Night Sight and HDR+ pipelines, since AI only serves a role in: (1) Automatic white balance (2) Fast preview of their ...

:( Even if they were technically open, this is getting pretty late to book a good timeslot. We booked our August boat timeslot in...  March or April I think?

It's mostly incompatible with an AA filter for one, and nearly all non-R bodies have one.  (A7M4 is something where there's evidence pointing either way and no definitive answers from qualified ...

Diamond Beach is amazing IF the tides cooperate.  In 2021, it was absolutely amazing.  In 2023, a combination of tides and other weather led to it being completely empty. Since the big bergs near ...

Good luck with that on the southern coast - although winter will help here.  All of the moisture-carrying air comes from the south which is why Vik (southernmost tip of the island) is one of the ...

Not necessarily ANY camera - Google's MFSR white paper explicitly states that the camera used cannot have an AA filter. But all A7R-series cameras and the A7CR meet this requirement. Sometimes ...

This is blatantly FALSE and easily proven so by merely clicking on the link that I provided.  There have been commits made to the repository in 2023.

It sounds like you want a single camera that can handle both bright outdoor scenarios AND low-light indoor scenarios - because the scenarios where you want the A9III are NOT the ones you are ...

Every single issue that has been filed in https://github.com/frank26080115/alpha-fairy/issues has had an immediate response (within a day) by the developer, with the only exception being ...
