"Last June, Samsung announced the ViewFinity S8, a pair of 27” and 32” 4K computer monitors ...". The announcement was on DPReview but my web searches today do not find any store, including Amazon, selling that monitor. Samsung's web site shows lots of their UK resellers but they don't actually list the monitor. Are these just announcements without actual products?
Comparison of picture quality is not the whole story. The viewfinder, the grip, and the controls set the camera apart from the smartphone for usability.
lococola: So if I understand correctly, basically from now on the 1" sensor is going to be the baseline, and everything else is measured as a fraction of that. Like "Type 2.7" for FF? How is this different from the current system, except currently FF is the baseline?
Also, you say you want to step away from the tube based system, but then still use " Type 1" for a 1" inch sensor, which was based on the tube thing. So how is that a change exactly?
I think you really made it unnecessarily more confusing. But time will tell I suppose.
@Richard, you got what I meant. Using actual dimensions for medium format would be great.

@Richard It's good you are not changing the designation of larger sensors. But your table has 'Medium format Type 3.4' to designate the 44x33mm sensor. It would be better to refer to these with magnification factors (inverse of crop factor) to give a sense of how large they are. For example "MF x1.27" for 55mm image diameter (55 = 43.3 x1.27) . The baseline is the 36x24mm full-frame dimensions.
I wonder why I haven't seen small sensor sizes such as 1/2.3" and 1" compared with Super 8 and 16mm cine film frame sizes. They roughly match.
120 to 35: Why is APS-C the only available sensor size below full-frame? A square sensor would be far more flexible, allowing videos and stills with vertical frames without turning the camera 90 degrees. The frame can be set to vertical with a flip of a switch. The electronic shutter should work fine with a 24x24mm sensor. While some lenses that have a rectangular baffle need a minor redesign, other improvements such as square viewfinder displays are optional.
@Ze De Boni, yes we share the same vision. Taking into consideration the practicalities, a 24x24mm sensor should be easy to incorporate behind the Sony, Canon and Nikon lens mounts. The extra cost of the sensor shouldn't be prohibitive either. Used with APS-C lenses, this solves the vertical frame issue and can attract more phone camera users.
A larger than full frame, 36x36mm sensor is probably an attractive feature for pros, but it may require more changes due to the sensor size exceeding the mount clearance, at least on Sony E mount.
So let's hope the execs at Sony, Canon or Nikon decide there is a market for the 24x24 format and launch new bodies. Then there will be more than one Square Sensor forum.

Agreed about shooting square frames, which had a brief revival with early Instagram but faded away. Yet nowadays verticals shots with phones are the norm. Also turning the camera defeats the ergonomics and is quite inconvenient for many people of a certain age who started photgraphy with film cameras.

@dpreview, "Intel’s 28@ 12th-generation processors"? Is is supposed to be 28 watts?
"We're still waiting for Raw support for Z fc files in Adobe Camera Raw, so many images in this gallery were processed from .NEF files in-camera. Once ACR support is available, we'll update this gallery."
@dpreview please always use the software provided with the camera to process the sample files. These samples are good as they do not feature the faux grainy textures common to those sample galleries processed with Adobe. There is a plethora of alternative processing software.
Lookiing at the photo I wondered if I'd misread the camera name all those years. Wikipedia to the rescue: "Nikkormat (Nikomat in Japan) was a brand of cameras produced by the Japanese optics company Nippon Kogaku K. K., as a consumer version of the professional Nikon brand."
The list is missing the Sony NEX line which started the mass market mirrorless trend.
" Mr. Toshio Matsumoto, Senior Principle Engineer". Surely "Principal".
I've used an Epson Perfection 3170 Photo (made in 2003) which is very similar to the V600. Scanning 35mm colour negatives gave the best results. Velvia and Kodachrome scan results were not as good. I used Epson scanning software.
"The updated AF system is complimented by a 10 fps max burst rate in AF-C." Complemented, not complimented.
The shallow DoF at f:1.2 is great for isolating the subject in distant, full body shots, not in head and shoulder portaits. Unfortunatly none of the photos explore this.
Matthias R: Does the picture on top of this article indeed implies that woman has two right hands? Forget Vlogging, I'm sure you can get a few medical articles in scientific publications out of that ;)
The flipped panel shows a mirror image for selfies, so it's her left hand in the screen and supposedly her right hand holding the camera. But the right hand doesn't look like it belongs to the model.
The Fat Fish: The cheapest computer in the Apple lineup that let's you add your own storage and GPU is $6000.
After 11 Macs, 6 iPhones, 4 iPads, numerous iPods and accessories and an Apple watch, it's finally time to abandon the sinking ship.
The price however absurd is not the issue here. The lack of choice is.
External SD hard disks can be attached via USB-C to all recent Macs. Lack of memory upgrade is the real limitation.
piratejabez: "Ariana Grande sued for $50K after she allegedly shared his photos without permission"
Who is the "his"? (I mean, I know now, but best not to use a pronoun in a headline for someone that hasn't been introduced yet.)
And the closing paragraph has "other recently sued by photographers".
One needs a small optical viewfinder for sunny days. They should bundle an add-on.
