Antisthenes

Indeed, as a 5.8cm distance variation should be sufficient to bring the modulation at the Nyquist limit from maximum to zero. A trivial to achieve 1cm distance adjustment on a macro slider would ...

Let's put in perspective the — rather inane, as expected — "DPReview is biased in favor of Sony" brouhaha in the comments surrounding the use — or, rather, misuse ? — of the DPReview Studio Scene ...

Elegant solution :-) Hypothetically, if the camera is doing CDS even in EFCS (and also in silent shutter mode), then, a somewhat noisy acquisition of the capacitor's initial voltage should affect ...

My conjecture is that CDS is required because even after "resetting", the capacitor still holds a residual voltage. Looking at a typical active pixel structure — e.g. this active pixel diagram ...

Thanks for yet another impressive sleuthing work ! Your detailed measurements seem to show that the picture's exposure is accompanied with two current spikes. One idle conjecture I have is that ...

Totally agree. To the original poster (ahtze): Small sensors do not , intrinsically, have a larger depth of field (DoF). Cameras with a larger sensor can easily achieve the same deep DoF simply by ...

The HW and SW (Linux-based ?) architecture used by Sony in its current E-mount cameras might not have sufficient processing power to properly handle apps while offering the controls ...

Has it occurred to you that Sony might also be using Nikon's stepper / scanners — instead of ASML's — to...

Nikon's negotiation stance with ASML might just be reflective of Nikon's confidence about the strength of their position.

I have absolutely no idea what the current IP dispute is about, and its...

Une discussion...

The A7RII has a vertical mechanical shutter whose max flash sync speed is 1/250s. This means that the slit formed between the front and rear mechanical shutter curtains while they scan the sensor ...

As seen above, I can easily demonstrate competence in the languages involved, and have pointed people...

The vowel lengths of "maux" and "mot" are /statistically/ different.

"Maux" tends to be slightly...

Vowel length has almost never a semantic role in French, and it's therefore not surprising that, with most French speakers, their speech...

Why should I bother to research and read — or lend any credence — to a piece about weatherproofing that might be claiming that the Sony A9 would...

Yup. And that's probably why you can't grasp the importance of vowel length, and why I take it into account when choosing an analogy of the...

The fact that the Japanese お [o̞], being unusual in Western languages, must therefore be /approximated/ by providing analogies like [o] or [ɔ] — i.e. not...

The fact that the issue at hand is about /vowel length/ (quantité vocalique) seems beyond your grasp.

You still haven't made clear why the world at large should care a jot about your quite uninformed and eminently /subjective/ rants about a particular camera model or manufacturer...

Nope. I'm convinced there's a /statistical/ difference in the length of the [o] and [ɔ] sounds in French. Deep inside you, I think you also know there /is/ such a difference. Hopefully, by now,...
