This is a real and difficult problem. I have cameras with FF, Four Thirds, 1 inch and 1/2.4 inch sensors. When I pick up my FF sensored camera this uncontrollable feeling of superiority comes over ...

And yet in three lines he packed in more wit and truth than the whole OP.

What is 'nasty' about my reality? That two companies have found a mutually beneficial commercial relationship and produced some excellent products? Sounds all good to me.

He might have meant 'passed', like a kidney stone.

In practice, it isn't, and if you don't know what 'exposure' is, you can't even begin to seriously discuss photography from the technical side. What it is, is the 'brightness' (more accurately ...

It's a fair point. While no-one knows what Brexit means (except that it means 'Brexit) exactly what type of Brexit is being fabricated is a pertinent question. May has been eager to slap down any ...

'outragers'? 'banned from'? Wouldn't that be 'banned for'? In any case, how would you know what another poster was banned for unless it was you that received the ban notice? He probably meant to ...

Using a camera with a 1/5" sensor, you might have to.

That's a different issue or at least it reveals an ambiguity in what you were saying. 'Properly  exposed if your intention is an in camera default JPEG processing cycle' is only one possible ...

Or 'grate'.

So, it is the nominal exposure as defined by the ISO setting. H = 10/Ssos for file value of 0.461 of full scale. Where does 'JPEG' come into it? 'Optimised' is something of a weasel word there. ...

What is a 'default JPEG exposure', and in what circumstances would an ETTR exposure be 'similar' to it?

Yeah, I take the point, but shot noise is so dominant at normal exposures that essentially you can ignore the rest. So, the 'primarily' needs to be further qualified to make that point. What you're ...

You do have a point there. But those are relatively easily gathered. Witness the several 'new' manufacturers from China and Korea turning out really rather well performing lenses. They can do the ...

Indeed, and one can see that quite clearly in the characteristic of the noise in different cameras. Read noise by itself shouldn't be 'chroma noise', because it happens equally in all channels ...

Why obfuscation? What do you see? Cerdibility as someone who sees a bouncing T as a bouncing T? And your point was? Good day to you too, and good luck with your fantasies where a bouncing T becomes ...

Don't beat yourself up so. You're not failing, you extracted from me a full and honest answer. It's just not one you like. Just so that you can consider, here we go again. It represents whatever ...

No, that is not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is what I said. You're easily amused. Not as far as I'm informed. Essentially, available precision of the manufacturing determines the level of ...

Yes I do know about that. Actually, I doubt that Leica has very much IP with respect to the actual optical formulae. It doesn't appear to me that they have any special capability in that regard. ...

Yes, that might possibly have been better. But then I didn't talk about the PRNU either, or for that matter Johnson noise.
