DOA?

I try always to choose a 2D version for this reason.

VR has been "coming" for what, 15 years? Oculus restarted the enthusiasm to the topic, but the tech is not there yet and won't be for 5-10 years what comes to mass-market adoption.

I think AR...

@osv. It's in the DPR article. And have a look the sample photos.

"well-behind" is my trollish emphasis added on differences one needs to laboratory test setup to verify. But that seems to be...

Yeah, it's bit far-fetch/weird that MSFT patents things like this, but MSFT research is one of the very few real corporate research centers that do research on many things not directly related to...

@Mike. Please read complete sentences instead of twisting my words based on your own bias. I said:

"The point here was that MSFT has accomplished to produce curved sensor in a _different_ way...

Great PR move :-D

Patents are different from "ideas". The point here was that MSFT has accomplished to produce curved sensor in a different way they claim to be "better" (whatever it means). The idea of curved...

Sony A9 is well behind Canon 1D X Mk II, but I understand some folks have double-standards for favorite brands...

Btw. Canon is now ahead of Nikon in dynamic range with 1 D X mk II. But I guess...

I use averaging with my 5DII. I can shoot reasonably sharp images at 1/10s handheld with an IS lens (16-35/4L IS, 24-105/4L IS) and use ISO 1600 that is the max reasonable ISO for 5DII considering...

At least there might be issues with Visas etc.

There clearly is need for the video features since companies keep adding those. If you don't use video, you just are not in the target segment of GH-5. I don't shot video either, but there are...

Those example photos look something one can take with a pocket camera... There is no "wow, medium format" element at all. Great to hear a MF camera made by Fuji is now good for street-photography....

@badi, et. al. By "had any realistic alternative" I did not mean pure technical reasons, but economic ones. The GFX (or any MF) volumes will be so low that customizing the sensor for Fuji only...

As if Fuji had any realistic alternative for the (Sony's) bayer sensor...

Which company is the next after Panasonic drops the gloves? Olympus?

I have said it long time how the bigger industry trends are not in favor of m43 system. Sony Alpha's are the same size with...

And then the lower production volumes.

Lower cost products / components sell in higher volumes in general. Assume now a sizeable fixed upfront investment for a new sensor (RD + production line)....

There is a nasty economic factor in play here too making larger sensor to be behind in silicon technology. The probability of defects on processed silicon is fixed per area assuming the same level...

And this is not say that "PC will disappear". No, it will continue as high-end workstation proposition for smaller market segment. No one has come up with more effective way to input text than a...

The Great Irony of the story here is that since PC was created, it has aspired to compete against Workstation - a segment then dominated by UNIX-workstations from Sun, IBM, etc. For long time PC...
