@Edgar, it is the same thing. Pixels of the sensor are only monochrome, and you need 4 to make a single color pixel out of them. The layout of pixels on LCD is not different: you need multiple...

> The use of the number of red, green, and blue "dots" to describe resolution is really obnoxious and needs to go away.

Hardly see any outrage about the same practice applied to the image sensors.

I've seen the price of X-A2 - but I was prepared to handle it: I've seen the prices of Fuji lenses!

Seriously though, to me, as a fan of small systems, Fuji became much more viable as they have...

Few vocal users. Not a majority by far. The most vocal of them are not even m43 users. Most of the calls for the higher resolution are trolling or naive comments from "if only m43 had 40MP, I ...

Actually it offers only 20fps at full IQ. And the buffer is limited to 40 frames. I wonder how long it takes to write all the frames to SD card?.. But the 4K photo is nearly real-time.

ARRI's angle is easy to spot: he'd rather that studios rent more of his gear, more often, and for longer time. Limited post-processing abilities of...

The barbaric sports like NFL are dreadful to watch regardless of the screen resolution.

@BFHunt, ask on the respective camera forum. Most cameras provide EVF/LiveView gain (artificially enhance the image) for the low-light shooting.

As a firmware developer (in different market) I can certifiably attest that it is indeed a drivel, which has no relation not only to the technology involved, but also to the general logic. Or reality.

BTW, I just recalled that Samsung for many years now is developing the transparent screens. If the tech ever matures, could that be a perfect hybrid OVF/EVF solution for the...

The image in Europe is (largely) SFW. There was a court case in EU. Advertisers wanted to clear the rules about nudity. They were not trying to break any grounds in the "decency" and "morality", ...

I do not care about the technical side much anymore.

I went for m43 for smaller lenses. Because my DSLR - weight aside - was simply taking too much space in a bag to carry it with me all the...

But what other useful sensor size it would be? Super 35? But Pana is so conservative, that they would never make the GH8 with a Super35 MAR sensor. They just won't. Not until Sony hits them again...

The long exposure on GX8 has the same hot spots noise as other Pana cameras with the Pana sensors. The Olys with Sony sensor (E-M10, E-M5) do not have this noise. Thus, IMO, the 20MP sensor in GX8...

> From Sony, likely.

Most sensors in Pana cameras are manufactured right now by the JV with the TowerJazz. Except for the magic 1" 20MP sensor - that's from Sony.

The sensor manufacturing and the...

I think we are all missing something.

The last state I heard was: Pana had entered joint venture with TowerJazz and transferred its sensor manufacturing to this joint venture. The R&D IIRC wasn't...

8K is 33MP in 16:9 AR. I gather full 43 sensor would have to be pushing the 40MP mark. Rather ambitious. I just hope it doesn't lead to too many sacrifices in other areas.

The "denial" only seems to be "vague" to you, because you apparently haven't followed the Samsung long enough. Samsung was and is always after high volume markets with potential for growth. ...

It's called "one step at a time". Let the OP start somewhere with something today. Let him dip his toes - and let him learn himself where the real problems are, and eventually learn how to solve them.

You should ask that on Digital Video Talk forum: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/1045 DSLR and video are bad fit. Hybrid mirrorless cameras are better at it, since they are closer by design to the ...
