  1. Taking risk is riskier for smaller player. Look at the internet backlash against Z6III new sensor problems. Nikon might sell fewer than it expected because of that, but the volume of this all arounder is enough to absorb the lost sales. With smaller volume, you have to be sure nobody will complain. I'm not saying they should be conservative, I'm saying maybe they couldn't find a trouble free sensor with the price they can afford. Maybe A1 sensor isn't for sale, or Sony's charging too much.
  2. They sent modified Z9 to the space station. That alone is enough evidence that there will be no DSLR release. No customer is more conservative than NASA.
  3. Its hard to believe Canon lose its domination. 1 in 2 photographers in the world own a Canon, and they see no reason to switch.
  4. For exactly the same reason Nikon will release the updated P1000 superzoom with no change but USB port. At this point they can't add more than a penny to the BoM of this kind of cameras.
  5. Nikon IBIS+VR combo at tele is best in class, and its intriguing that nobody figured it out yet how to reach peak performance at both ends, Sony is very good at wide focal length but terrible at tele.
  6. Yes, if you can live with contrast AF.
  7. It shows how h265 capture is good enough for YouTube level content, rather than unnecessity of the raw. And by the way we haven't seen true potential of NRAW, because as of now its only available in cameras that have relatively low DR sensors. The perfect scenario however would be universal support of JPEG XL by all camera makers. Its free, its efficient, it can do raw, alpha, up to 32 bit, HDR, basically every feature that is needed.
  8. Samsung has consistency problem in all their businesses. Look at their Exynos shape right now, or even their OLED. They abandoned large sensor production to focus on smartphone sensor, and they're already pioneer in small pixel tech, yet you find no Samsung sensor in the main camera of the flagships.
  9. Viltrox has better corner sharpness, and its AF motor is quieter.
  10. But when Nikon keeps an old sensor in a sub $1000 APSC body and upgrade everything else, the internet says "what a bummer". When Sony does the same, in a $6500 body, YouTubers call it "mind blowing", "perfect flagship". If Canon does the same its called "corporate greed", but when it comes to Sony its called "strategy". It also debunks the old stupid notion, again, that Sony Semi keeps the best and state of the art sensor for Sony Imaging! Sony Semi can't send the best when Sony Imaging says "We don't want the best, cause its high development price lower our profit margin, thanks". So Sony users are stuck with 8k30p, and non downsampled 4k, for the next two years, while users of the other Sony Semi customer have 8k60p and downsampled 4k60.
  11. What you're talking about is for EM-CCD sensors, not CMOS. "Pixel clock rate is an important specification for CCD and EM-CCD cameras, but not for CMOS cameras because of chip architecture. Unlike CCD and EM-CCD cameras where photoelectrons from each pixel are converted into voltage one-at-a-time via a single amplifier, in CMOS cameras each pixel has its own amplifier, so conversion of photoelectrons happens in parallel in all the pixels." From Hamamatsu company website. You know more than they do?
  12. Dude its not abortion ban subject. You just need to learn more about sensors, even their datasheet can help, and you'll find out. "Literally nobody said let the sensor consume more power"? Really? This is your exact words: "Wrong. There are plenty of examples of overclocking various sensors over the years". Unless we assume you're "nobody". Fair enough.
  13. That tweaks/adjustments are hardware changes, and needs redoing a lot of stuff at fab level. It's not like you edit a few lines of code and get a more capable sensor. Does GFX100II sensor support different modes of read out? Who knows.. But if there is any, thats not simple as "let the sensor consume more power".
  14. Right wingers has X, liberals have Threads and BlueSky. Maybe we're heading for a situation where there is a film industry for conservatives and another film industry for liberals.
