In order to have 8k, for video or simply for photos to fill an 8k screen, you would need more than 39MP in APS-C aspect ratio, 44MP if we're talking 4/3 sensors. Basically, 8k is going to push the ...

An APS-C sensor with the pixel density of the main camera of the P20 Pro would have 350 megapixels. The RAW files from that sensor aren't even that bad, so there's some room to improve for both ...

The most likely next announcement would be a new DP series, so if you look for a camera with interchangeable lenses, my guess is that a SD Quattro would be a current model for some time. Also, ...

Exactly. The magnification is the same regardless. Not too bad, 1:3 for APS-C fills the frame just as much as 1:2 magnification on a full frame camera. Agree. I use a Canon 250D close-up filter on ...

Note, it looks like your camera has the detail-killing noise reduction applied, a Quattro is capable of much more detailed JPEGs without it (anything with fine detail, like grass). I strongly ...

The dark pixels on DP Quattro cameras are deliberately underexposed to allow to recover some highlight detail (overexposure correction pixels). They don't have phase detection AF. Another ...

Well, if my understanding is correct, a 10x close up lens on the DP2M would give about 1:2.2 magnification at closest focus distance. That fills the APS-C sensor just as much as a 1:1.5 lens on ...

No. That would effectively mean to include an X3F inside the DNG.

You may have a point :) I never had the SD14, but I did have the DP2 (original) before the SD15 and the addition of variable Analog Front End on the SD15 was definitely not an improvement for image ...

In theory they should be twice as large, since the Quattro X3F files contain 4 times as many top layer pixels as the two lower layers, while the DNG files have already been extrapolated into three ...

Not for the camera we discuss here, since we talk about Sigma's linear DNG files which do need some in-camera cooking (Quattro decoding in particular) in order to be usable by existing DNG converters.

Judging from the RAW sample, they need the f/2.4 aperture because the lens is far less sharp at f/1.5 than the fixed f/1.7 lens of my Note 8.

Longer term: Sigma EF-630 flash. Foveon works best in good light, and when there is none you can bring your own ;-) I also agree with shooting RAW+JPEG and I tend to shoot in Standard color mode, ...

Might be boring, but there's a reason the best phone camera these days also is the one with the bigger sensor (Huawei P20 Pro)... I believe one of the reasons RED has the all-time-high DxOMark ...

As long as sensor size matters among phone cameras, I'd say yes. The best phone camera on the market today is the Huawei P20 Pro which also happens to be the one with the biggest...

Picture number 7 here: https://www.cnet.com/pictures/red-hydrogen-one/

That's where RED comes in, the Cinema module in one of the photos at Cnet has a full frame lens attached. That means at least APS-C size sensor. Oh, and that lens can apparently be replaced by one ...

Well, how much can you charge for smartphone accessories? ;-)

...and RED confirmed that quickly:

Not only is it married to two cameras on each side of the phone, it also allows display of commercial 3D movies.

To produce a 3D movie, you would likely need to buy or rent twice as many RED...
