G'day fellas

just thinking laterally

if the m4/3 sensor is 1/4-the area of full frame, -and- they are putting out sensors if 20-24mpx, then its theoretically feasible that you may see 90-100mpx sensors on full frame units 'sometime' in the future

The big Q to me would be whether the camera's processing unit could handle 100mpx of data at such a speed as to permit continuous frames at an acceptable speed ~ and could the buffer / card write speed keep up?

Hi Phil,

I'm not worried… tech is going there — if physically possible.

I already work with files from ~50 to ~90 MB daily and I do
not feel much difference pre or post SR.

You can choose many file sizes up to the 60MP, but I like the higher resolution sensors....

Also, 90 to 100 MP is one tech generation away...(Maybe in a year?)

This is the point of CF Express / XQD. They are capable of higher data transfer rates. As for processing, shooting raw should mean little computation.

One wonders if part of the bottleneck is the speed at which the sensor can be read.

Heard the other day that they have developed a sensor with square pixels so that would eliminate the area between the pixel circles which in effect would double the megapixels.

Why not the Z? This is really V2 for Nikon.

What I do — and mostly the way I like to do it —locks
me to the D as I don't mind the weight or bulk — feels
better in my paws and there is the great optical finder.

Some will move, some won't. If you're heavily invested in bodies and glass the "Z" might not be right yet, of course.

After thought, my gear is getting long in the tooth, my next body will likely be a Z-whatever....

Eh, depends on the low light perf.  Honestly, there's a point where unless you have enough light l, you just get more noise.  I'd really rather a lower MP but cleaner output.   There's a reason that even though I own a D850 a D4s is my daily driver.   Plus other than things like wildlife, and some landscape and portraiture, more MP isn't better...

You have a point on the noise, my venerable D700 still rocks at high ISO.

+1

My D850 is like "welded" to the 600 ƒ4
as the D810 to the 200~400 ƒ4.

My workhorses are the D3S and D3X
