That's a pretty interesting question. I am guessing it's perhaps a mix of both. That's why the 24MP FF sensor is shared across the board (with Panasonic not having it with PDAF), and each of the manufacturers has different dynamic range and slight tweaks here and there. Whereas the 26MP APS-C sensor is unique to Fuji, so maybe they got lucky with the sensor size and wafer pixel density. Circuitry perhaps helps determine bit depth among a few other things. It may have to do with cost cutting among other things. Am quite curious why Samsung doesn't make image sensors for ILCs (since it was already making its own ILC sensors). And it is officially the 2nd largest image sensor maker, after Sony. It could easily eat into Sony's ILC sensor market share.

It's not there in the Sony A7siii either. It's apparently no big deal.

I see it as a lower priced S1, with a few extras. It had Reliability as the USP, right now, along with 10-bit video. The G100 seems to have cut too many corners. They could have just put a smaller sensor with IBIS in that. Plus the added crop and other bits, and other things just made that camera seem half baked.

Did he also share a video. Forget I asked. I saw some guy's post mentioning that someone else tested it. And with some results.. Maybe a youtube video would be more interesting.

It's even smaller and lighter than the GH5, and it still retains "Contrast AF system DFD technology". Which means it's a cheaper S1, with the same features and lower resolution EVF (?) , and a few corners cut. Which isn't so bad. No wonder the Panasonic guys found the overheating issue on the R5 (and R6?) difficult to digest. Hopefully Panasonic hasn't forgotten the M43 lineup.

Thank you. There are some artefacts on 1-2 leaves. Maybe they were due to fingerprints on the lens (or perhaps flair, due to sunlight from a certain angle). The artefacts on the back maybe were due to the fact that I was very close to the flower. Are you referring to the vignetting or depth or field or something. Aaah ok. Maybe it was due to camera shake or something. Maybe you didn't hold the camera, in this shot, that steady.

Is this from JPEG or RAW. Dynamic range is impressive but the noise reduction is quite aggressive.

My old very phone pic. With a few tweaks.

Interesting and very shady. So, theoretically, it can be hacked to get rid of an artificially controlled/handicapped recording limit.

You know someone who has committed rape, murder, genocide, hate crimes or something similar. So you're saying that you won't call him out because ... there are other people doing these too, and they're apparently, common. So because, according to you, many people do these crimes, it's not really a big deal. Wow. What an amazing argument.

Hahaha. Thats probably a first.

And his ignorance made him win Round 1 against RED which probably hired lawyers who charged as much per appearence, as most middle class Americans make in a year (and I am guessing way more than you make per appearance, if coursework is your forte). It's the same company that won the strangest Patent suits against Apple and a host of other multibillion-dollar corporations. He's not going to be listing precedents, and all provision of law online. Or structure his actual arguments either. People are already whining that they can't understand anything, they will probably start jumping of off buildings, if he makes it any more technical. Well said.

Hehehe. He is not a journalist. He is a activist consumer who has been forced to fight against RED because of false case(s) against him. So much so, that RED seems to be restructuring their company under some yet-unheard structure and which attempts to protect RED and its assets from all sorts of prospective lawsuits. Hopefully, they send RED to the bottom of the earth, and all their money is paid in class action lawsuits and settlements, for ruthless harassment and bullying of customers and (self declared) competitors, under complete misuse of the legal system. It may also be a good time to discipline lawyers whose sole purpose seems to be bullying customers and competitors, especially the much smaller companies and not so affluent customers.

Maybe you should watch all his videos, and preferably a few times. He explains everything rather well. With facts, history, law, court filings, technology etc. If you still think it's a conspiracy theory, maybe its beyond your ability to understand the basic jargon in reference. I wouldn't call you a fanboy or something, because it's difficult to understand why you have a bias against someone who is clearly highlighting facts.

I read somewhere that the A7siii have also been pretty delayed. And that Sony is also trying to do a Canon and deny anything that might suggest recall, or alterations or coloring the body in a lighter shade.

Wow. So glad that someone is rkaing one if the biggest corporate fraud company to the cleaners. It's David vs Goliath.

Everyone should push Panasonic to tell us about the Future of rhe GH lineup and also the Mystery about the PDAF (instead of the bullocks that they've been feeding us on)

Samsung had been using Sony Image Sensors in its smartphones for pretty long. Now that its market share had gone up substantially, it's dependence on Sony had gone down. Also, apparently, Sony's smartphone division uses a few Samsung Sensors. Also, Panasonic doesn't really have an option, since Sony has been using its market dominance for unfair trade practices. Like I already mentioned, Samsung is using it with aparently great success on the new Note20 series, and early early testing seems to suggest that it's doing well. I agree. The older YAGH was a design failure. Oversized and lacking even a battery inside.

Canon, who probably doesn't make M43 sensors and doesn't also apparently doesn't sell to anyone else. Unless Panasonic convince Canon to make an M43 sensor for them. Theoretically, Samsung should also have a sensor, from their various wafers, that they could simply cut to M43 size. Though they may have to match exact Panasonic requirements. Also, Samsung does dual pixel PDAF extremely well. Samsung had circumvented the lack of dual pixel on it's own 108MP sensor with a ToF sensor in the Note20. And it seems to have done it extremely well. Panasonic could easily use ToF to circumvent the Sony sensor purchase conditions.

Since Panasonic's USP is video, and that is what established the almost cult status for the GH2 and pushed the GH5 ahead of the competition for so many years, Panasonic can do this, to eat Sony and Canon's lunch. 1. Create the GH6 and GH6s with faster readout of 4k and 6k, 4k at 120fps and 6k at atleast 6k at 60p, and RAW, out through the HDMI (or dual cables for USB 3.2) or into a re-designed YAGH at $500. Also, 1080p at 240fps. All with 10-bit 422 and 14-bit RAW options (compressed out of camera). 2. It needs to create a new YAGH version (about 30% the size of the original) and the unit's sole purpose should be to compress RAW into various settings (which should prevent it from suffering from RED's fake compression patent issues), and then allowing it to be transferred to a tiny SSD unit (which could be parked within that). And the GH6 Series and the Yagh Version could be connected via USB 3.2 (they could do a double USB 3.2) connection, and this should speed things up considerably). Panasonic could sell this unit for $500 and users could buy the tiny SSD seperately. Also, I suspect that one of the latest off the shelf Snapdragon or Mediatek processors could do this. 3. With a $1750, it could easily eat into the Market of Every Video Shooting ILC including the Sony A7siii and even the R5. And, both of those have different levels of reliability, especially on the field (neither of which could be high enough). Considering that an (in)famous site for filmmaking gear testing, has finally moved the A7sii from 14 stops to 10.6 stops of usable dynamic range (which is less than the 10.7 that they've given the GH5s), it should be safe to assume, that with the latest generation of M43 sensors, and better VLog as well as CDNG, the next Generation of GH Cameras should be in the ballpark of 11.5+ stops, rated conservatively, by the same site. Which means, this figure should be very similar to that from the A7siii and the R5 and R6, when tested by the same site or within ).5 stopd of either). Panasonic should not think of the GH Series eating into the FF market. They're very different segments and peopple's mindsets govern that, even more than the actual capabilities or feature set.

I don't think Sharp's camera will be any good. They just made it for bragging rights. Plus it's an 10-bit ADC and so the whole dynamic range and image may be disappointing. Am gonna sleep now. Good night.

Could you share the source.

Most likely the IMX492. It can do 8k at upto 30fps (thought at 10-bit). Whoa. That's interesting.

What's S5?

A lot of issues with newer ILC releases seems to be that Sony has almost sole monopoly of ILC image sensors. If Canon wasn't round, there would have only been Sony ILCs. So in some ways Sony attempts to abuse its control of the sensor Market. I noticed this with the release of the A7Riv, being almost immediately after Fuji released its medium format 100MP camera the fujifilm gfx 100. And surprisingly they seem to have similar dynamic range and the exact same Pixel pitch. Which means that they're probably made from the same silicon wafer. The Sony also undercut the Fuji in price and size, and then features as well. Which makes me wonder, that since many times the same technology of sensors are used in varying sensors sizes, with the same bit (depth) ADC, sensors with the same pixel, should, theoretically provide not just the exact same dynamic range, but also the same exposure latitude. Which means that if the GH6 and the Sony A7Riv were made from the same wafer, they should, theoretically have the same dynamic range and exposure latitude. Correct me if I am wrong. Maybe this is the right time for Panasonic to start giving out its list to the rumor sites. BRAW would be a great feature, if it doesn't plan to have with ProRes onboard. Or perform a compression trick with CDNG that doesn't violate on that rubbish fake Patent of RED.
