Contrast detection, likely due to the L-mount protocol since Sigma's older sd Quattro cameras have phase detection pixels used in a hybrid contrast+phase combination. There have been mentions about ...

That photo isn't particularly detailed, though. It's also a bit confusing in that the EXIF claims it to be taken at ISO 100, f/11 and at 1/1000 second in the afternoon. I'd expect that to give a ...

Sigma has promised a range of smaller full frame primes as well.

Thanks, was just wondering!

"There are some interesting color modes provided (Cine and Teal & Orange) in particular but they all have pretty aggressive tone curves"

I like the results I get from my 8750, but Pro-100 can sometimes be found at very reasonable prices, and it's a better choice if you print more than me.

Only you can tell ;-) If you get a Merrill, then at least you get something *different* than what you had from before. Regardless of my feelings against AFE, I got good results from the SD15 with ...

That change was likely that shot noise (from light itself) now is the dominant noise for many sensors and use cases, hence sensor size is the important factor, not pixel size. You see this with ...

I said highlight recovery. Dynamic range primarily just says how noisy shadows are , where the Quattro may win in a measurement. However, when highlights are blown in a Quattro JPEG, you can pretty ...

Being Sony I expected none, but apparently RAW/DNG will be added for one or more cameras at a later stage:
"RAW support feature will be available through software update. Software rollouts are a...

I did the same, but have switched to using folders as underlying storage, which Apple makes trivial to do, just deselect the “Copy items to the Photos library” checkbox. https://support.apple.com/g ...

It's the same sensor, but my DP3M had better color and my DP2M had cleaner high ISO. Not sure if it was purely a software change or if the electronics differed, but the two had distinct personalities.

AFAIK, only the dp Quattro models have the highlight protection pixels, replaced by phase detection pixels in the sd Quattro. The Quattro sensor has clean colors thanks to the large lower layer ...

A DP3 Merrill would also be a bit closer to the Quattro, the DP2 Merrill struggles a bit with brown tones like the sandy parts of the river banks here. Haven't been to Dhaka since my DP2 Merrill ...

I shoot RAW+JPEG and use the in-camera RAW converter if I need to adjust something. Hence, I have customized the color mode I mostly use (Sharpness -1.0, Contrast -0.6). The setting I change the ...

What we discuss in this thread is whether the next Foveon sensor needs to have more physical pixels and far more resolution than a Canon EOS-1D X Mark III from 2020.

Colors indeed look good with the external filter, nice collection!

@Petak, Samsung have been able to cram more pixels into smaller space, but their mobile sensors also increase in size, so a 600mp model would likely require both - although maybe not APS-C :-)

I...

Samsung re-entering APS-C, then? ;-)

The size of their newest 108mp sensor is 9.5mm x 7.3mm and has 108mp.

9.5 * 7.3 / 108 = 24 * 16 / 600

I'd likely take that 100mp camera and shoot it at half size since it's a waste of storage space and transfer time. But everything else isn't equal, Foveon doesn't appear to scale down that well: ...
