Sometimes spelling correctors come out with pure genius.

Which is maybe the conceptual error which leads to you not being able to parse what I said. 'ISO' doesn't change the amount of light.

What I'm saying is that 'ISO' hasn't done anything for him. What has enabled him to produce the result is his willingness to use a small exposure and live with the noise. That's usually a good choice.

It only looks exactly like the G80/85 if you ignore exactly how it looks. It has all the styling cues from the G9. such as the ridged VF housing, diamond knurling on the controls, but it clearly ...

The settings he used seem to do the job in this case. I didn't say that the settings were wrong.

Panasonic has enough resource to cover a lot more bases. The 1' cameras are pretty good to.

It was more different from the parallel Olympus offering, the E-510, but a look through the specifications shows that the internal systems were identical. They were clearly from the same parts bin.

They can afford it so long as the business is as a whole profitable and they are happy to cross-subsidise. Plus, they can decide that the photo business is useful for brand recognition, and ...

Just ignore the bits you don't like. Concentrate on the ones you do. Don't actively try to be irritated.

And those two models were badged Olympus essentially (or more likely, alternatively badged Sanyos). Also mFT was very much Panasonic's format, they were the early driving force, with Olympus ...

I understand that's not the system for you, it is for many. The 'few native lenses'  can also be seen as something of a feature, because the FF lenses take on different characteristics on the ...

What we learn at school isn't always right. In this context it's quite important, because people take away notions based on what they understand by the word, then go on to amplify them and the ...

Thanks for linking that, Eric. Very interesting. First, errata, the data given for the Canon 5D is clearly wrong - it might want to be corrected. I also think that the paper is very sensor-centric, ...

Actually, the IMX269 can do full-readout 16:9 at 41 FPS. The limit to cropless 4k and 5k (not enough pixels for 6k) is not the sensor readout, it's the processor capacity to resample from 5280 x ...

It still doesn't correct it. You're talking about responsivity, not sensitivity. Sensitivity is given by the magnitude of the minimum stimulus to which the sensor can produce a meaningful ...

I think the motivation is more than just 'looking good'. The Nikon interview on this site gives a very strong hint that there will be APS-C Z cameras, due to customer demand. Given that most of ...

If you read my post you'll find that I did explain why it was wrong. Neither did I say anything rude or insulting about the OP, except make the implication that his title was misleading. I often ...

That's incorrect. Adding a low noise amplifier does not increase the sensitivity of a transducer at all, it just gives a larger output, which isn't the same thing.

I wasn't talking about 'solutions'. I was talking about what was happening. Using 12800 ISO wasn't doing anything for him. It was his willingness to use the small exposure that was. That was the ...

Well, the OP's headline was leading to a misunderstanding, that somehow raising ISO 'allows you to use a smaller exposure. It doesn't. All the leads you to being able to use a smaller exposure is ...
