An interesting comment by Thom Hogan in his article about the quality of Z lenses S line going forward: "I can’t say for sure about that, because as far as you know I don’t have a 100mp camera."
If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).
Maybe. But imagine how much you could crop it. No need for tele lenses?More Internet dribble from Hogan. If there is I, for sure, will NOT have any interest in a 100mp camera regardless of cost. As it is now, handling 45mp images from a Z9 and a Z7-II (even with HE* on a Z9). is taxing enough on a computer system, even with my suped-up M1 Mac. I have no need for images that large.

I thought those Macs were supposed to be good. I have a $1k PC at work that devours HE* files by the hundreds every day. Might want to get it looked at.More Internet dribble from Hogan.

It may happen - Matt Irwin did a video showing the Z flange is wide enough for a medium format sensor ... and the Hassy X2D looks invitingly at me :-;
hey @Andy Miller Photo UK ! what do you think?
I’d agree with you, something doesn’t seem right. My M1 MacBook Air displays the images instantly without any rendering delay so anything more powerful should perform better.I thought those Macs were supposed to be good.

I look at the medium format Fujis every month or two but have resisted buying one so far. That GFX100 is really tempting, especially when was on sale.I suspect we will see one in 10 or so years. None of the camera manufactures are in a hurry to get there. They have many MP between 45-50 to sell well before they jump to 100.
Look at Sony with 61MP, new body came out and no increase in MP. It takes a lot of computing power to shoot that many or more MP at the speed people want 35mm sensors to work.
I am intrigued by the medium format but nothing about any of the cameras is fast.
Do we gave the lenses to support 100 MP?
The move from something like a D600 to a D810 shows a greater sensitivity to movement/ vibration and exposes flaws in shooting technique. What do you reckon is going to happen at 100 MP.
I don’t want more pixels if the trade off is inferior image quality. Less light gathering, more pixels to produce noise in low light. Correct me if I’m wrong.
As per Thom in his Z9 guide he delves into the sensor architecture, and basically concludes that sensors are already at its limit with dynamic range.
I’m thinking, what would be expected in 10 years from now?
Maybe a new kind of sensor altogether?
One thing is certain, no one is planing to increase the 35mm sensor size, because if we do, we would need to buy new lenses for all focal lengths…
Personally I would want a bigger sensor, one that is square and doesn’t require to rotate the camera for portraits and staying at 35mm format in either direction. Or maybe allow to use the portrait pixels in landscape mode which will produce a bigger picture with a shorter focal length, just like DX but in the opposite…
Better AF? Sure!
I want facial recognition. Should allow us to pre set the AF to follow and track a particular face or group of faces in priority from other faces.
Speaking recognition,
Like saying Hay Siri, I want to say Hay Z9, Change AF to single point, or even shorter custom phrases to Act like FN buttons. Then add a small wireless microphone near the mouth to capture the audio commands in a noisy environment.
Add special shoe sock sensors, when I tap, it should act like a programmable FN button.
All those are already old technology… it’s missing from the cameras….
One of my Hasselblad Backs is 100mp.An interesting comment by Thom Hogan in his article about the quality of Z lenses S line going forward: "I can’t say for sure about that, because as far as you know I don’t have a 100mp camera."
The Sony sensor in the Hassy X2D is 43.8x32.9, which is a 0.79 crop factor when compared to FF (which is roughly 36x24, like 35mm film).What’s the sensor size on the 100mp Hasselblad? And how does a 50mm ff focal length compare to it?
43.8x32.9mm - Thats only the baby Hassy X1D and X2D - the H hassy cameras have much bigger sensors...The Sony sensor in the Hassy X2D is 43.8x32.9, which is a 0.79 crop factor when compared to FF (which is roughly 36x24, like 35mm film).
Good point. The baby Hassys are the ones going up against the Fuji, the big ones are $30,000.43.8x32.9mm - Thats only the baby Hassy X1D and X2D - the H hassy cameras have much bigger sensors...
