It's definitely not straightforward, there was no 8k originally AFAIK, that came through a firmware update and as far as I know is a totally different format that makes use of ticoRAW as a base ( https://www.dpreview.com&#x2F

The reason it requires reduction to 11MP and to use the video pipeline instead of the Expeed pipeline is due to sensor readout time. I don't /fully/ understand it, but the sensor readout data on the Rolling Shutter Project s

Yes, you are correct. The spec sheet isn't particularly clear on this so I got it wrong taking it at face value, but on the Rolling Shutter Project it shows the sensor readout speed is the limit, which both use the same sensor. For t

That's very true, lenses on a camera work very similarly to a telescope. A larger objective (opening at the end of the lens) combined with a large aperture (lower f number) means that a lens is able to gather a lot more light at a giv

The sensor in the 90D isn't capable of the high ISO performance of some newer sensors. For low-light conditions the things that matter more than anything is: 1. pixel pitch 2. sensor ISO performance 3. native denoising For sure a new

You can definitely do more than that these days. My Nikon Z8 can do 30fps with 1xCFExpress, and the flagship Z9 can do 120fps because it has 2xCFExpress and alternates writes. On the Sony side they have a closer differentiation to what yo

It's, in many ways, the same problem as having too many "yes men" on a team at work or in your middle management layer. You end up getting wishy-washy, half-assed "yes" answers to questions that everyone would have

The opposite of "an overabundance of honesty" is not lying. It's knowing when to not speak at all. Perhaps rather than assuming I haven't mastered the skills of honesty, or that I am a dishonest person, you should reall

I agree with every single thing you just wrote, and yet it doesn't address the fact that the world is an unfair place and that being too honest is a character fault, maybe a different take on the meaning of "discretion" in &q
