They were surprisingly sharp for what they cost back in the day. Even then they were the low cost low resolution option.

There doesn't seem to be any systematic difference between high and low resolution cameras in terms of saturation exposure.

Yes, they are. If the proposed phenomenon is a sampling issue then that matters, if it's an SNR issue, it shouldn't. I'm not convinced it's not an observation issue.

As a constituency photographers like sharpness. This applies both to lenses and sensors. Recent lenses have been much sharper than their predecessors and so have cameras. Not many photographic ...

The MTF graphs at the bottom, of MTF50 vs f-number don't look like the shape that one expects. Lens testing at these kinds of resolutions is crazy hard. So, I think that there is every. Also, they ...

Please stop what?

The easy way to make sensor size logical would be to just list them by the actual length of the diagonal, so a FF sensor would be 43mm, APS-C 28mm, FT 21.5mm, 1" 16mm and so on. Still, I don't ...

GN 58 m @ 100 ISO and 200mm setting. For a more normal 50mm coverage that is 15m. Then the umbrella will take more light out of the equation. Just for simplicity, if the hall is 20m long, and the ...

Not my definition. My definition of a professional camera is anything used by someone that earns a living from photography, and that includes a lot of cameras. It comes down in the end to a risk ...

It's not at all similar. The Z9 sensor is a Sony sensor (the data flow architecture designed and specified by Nikon, probably). It has a conventional pixel array. The key architectural arrangement ...

How much power do your speedlights have? Very few will backlight a medium size hall successfully.

I don't think that the yield problems will be on the pixel array, they will be in the connections between the dies. If those don't work it won't just trash parts of the sensor.

What was the point?

No, I'm not implying anything of the sort. I'm just pointing out that there has both been an HR version of the top model... ..and that they made a $3k camera with one card slot. You missed the ...

Or a Z500 with a 1" sensor?

You mean like the D3X wasn't? Well, the D700 was $3k, but count in inflation and that counts, doesn't it? The D300 only had a single card slot. The 'dual card slot' stuff didn't really arise until ...

I suspect that the move to 20MP for that new sensor was somewhat cynical and marketing based. They wanted to spec the D500 somewhat like the D5 to make it appear to be the D300 to the D3, so they ...

Nikon doesn't have the onus or the resources to cover every consumer's problem. They need to allocate their resources finding products which address whole groups of consumers' problems in as few ...

That's not really the point. Nikon cares what Nikon prices the Z9 at. It will be in their business plan that they expect to make some amount of profit form selling so many Z9's at their chosen ...

That was what you wrote first time round, then you thought better and wrote Looks like you can manage the insults without trying. I know what it's like. Still, I'm not playing any game. I'm just ...
