I’m told they originally intended to mount the sensor vertically to entice the growing smartphone audience, hence the N turned 90 degrees. Despite a last minute decision to revert to the ...

Yes, Nikon indicated in their March, 2021, Z9 development announcement that it would have a stacked CMOS sensor.

Regards the new Sony, isn't 1/15th sec an awfully slow readout?

Interesting that it's not a stacked sensor. So as of right now, A1, A9, R3 and Z9 are the only such cameras. But, Sony has a part avail for m4/3... Does anyone know how this Sony sensor's...

People forget that, for most of its life,135 format was the small option.  Some dedicate LEMs/camera designers elevated it enough to be a good reportage tool, but it was never the choice for ...

Not really the same thing. In the one instance you are selecting tools and using their controls to create a visual effect, you're not assembling the tool itself and debugging it.

Building tools...

Most of the BYO crowd heavily discounts the DIY aspect of their builds. Time spent assembling, installing drivers, updating, and trouble shooting needs to be factored in, not just the initial...

How much is your time worth? Go to Apple.com and buy a nice IMac or Macbook, done.

I think the range they ought to shoot for here is 11-33 f/2.8 DX .  This punches out roughly 16.5-50mm f/4.25 full frame equivalent, "ish", and does a couple of beneficial things for the smaller ...

Maybe not entirely pointless: a 1.4X zoom need not necessarily result in a overly large lens. That depends on what other optical corrections are prioritized in the design. Not quite.  In practice ...

This is not likely.  Plenty of F mount lenses will resolve just fine.  What is more likely is that when they settled on the 45MP Z7 sensor it was the right balance of price and performance for the ...

Nikon's Z9 will likely incorporate all of a new stacked sensor type, new image processor, and new processing routines, and will be priced accordingly. I expect those goodies to trickle down in ...

I have to learn to be clearer.  I don't think this really depends on the Z9 technology per se, so much as the Z9 marketing.  Surely there will be a lot of underlying dissimilarity in the ...

Thierry Breton looks like he could be fighting the Pentaverate. For those who don't know obscure Mike Myers references:

It makes sense for them to launch the flagship product to help cast a halo around the whole lineup.  People still talk about Sony A7 gen 2 and 3 products as though they're as capable as flagship ...

Me too. At least until COVID put it all on hold for a while.  D800/D810, pro zoom trio, a couple of flashes... I used the kit I had, because that's what I used for work, so I was used to it. I ...

Neither of these strikes me especially as a travel camera, unless photography is a primary reason for the trip. I think it's interesting that Canon has more clearly pitched the R3 sensor towards ...

Before the pandemic levelled our business, one of the young upstarts was using a Z6 to good effect for video.  It's a nice camera, but ... I think you should wait and maybe jump to a Z7II a bit ...

Crunchy... but onto something. I'd layer the original back in and blend them to soften the final product a tad before printing at large sizes. Some experimentation is required here...

Some years ago, I went to an art exhibit of photorealistic passport photos. Paintings so realistic that they looked like photographs, the smallest of them, passport sized as well, and...

What’s amazing is that even after a relatively simple demonstration and clear explanation, a number of DPR commenters still refuse to understand it.
