Is an 8 year old CPU using 200mm^2 as good as a modern CPU using 200mm^2? No. Is it as good as a modern CPU using 50mm^2? Probably not either.
Edit to respond to child: No, the comment I responded to HERE on HN is an 8 year old sensor (Sony A6000).
- foldr 4y agoThe reddit post isn't comparing to 8 year old sensors. Also, sensors on consumer cameras haven't actually changed much in the past 8 years (marketing hype to the contrary). Low light performance is a bit better, but that's unlikely to have been a major factor in the OP's comparison given the use of an f1.8 lens. This page is useful for comparing old and new: https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison You can see some improvements from newer cameras with the same resolution, but it's not a huge difference.
