Digital Camera Sensor Performane Summary updated Feb 3

Obviously, that does not indicate in any way that Bob G is unable
to understand or evaluate the tables, merely that "a Master's in
Mathematics" is about as relevant to understanding the tables as
deep sea diving is.

Bob G is perfectly able to understand and evaluate the tables. But Bob
G prefers to take pictures. Bob G would rather drive his car than take
a course in automotive mechanics. Bob G has learned a few things about
his car, nevertheless. He knows how to start the engine, release the
hand brake, adjust mirrors, put his seat belt on, put the car in gear,
steer left or right, back up if necessary, mind his speed, obey
traffic laws, and so on. But Bob G doesn't know much about internal
combustion engines. Similarly, Bob G knows where the on-off button on
his camera is, he knows a little about white balance, ISO, depth of
field, f-stops and shutter speeds, and so on. But Bob G doesn't know
much about signal-to-noise ratios. He studies photographs much more
than he reads camera technical manuals. That's Bob G's choice.

Bob G is sorry to have offended photographers who delight in
technology. He understands that good photography and a love of
technology are not mutually exclusive. Still, he suspects that in many
cases they are inimical to each other. And that was his point.

Ah. so you're one of those people for whom nothing is interesting if
it isn't useful. I guess that's why you put so little thought into
your postings.

You like to jump to conclusions easily. Bob G is interested in many
things that few would consider "useful". Poetry, for example.
But Bob G would be inclined to deny that there are areas of human
interest that would qualify in their entirety as "useless". Your post
comes close.

Bob G's in a mood. :O)

My wife says talking about yourself in the third person sounds insane, so
Dave should stop doing that. Dave has stopped doing that, because his wife
said so. Mostly...

Have fun,
Dave

Bob delights in learning as little as he can about his tools.

I've added data for several newer cameras, added a new
section on Apparent Image Quality (AIQ) along with models
for constant megapixels and constant format size. What formerly
looks like a scatter plot now is taking shape in that the
pixel size and sensor format are showing trends. The models
should now allow prediction of performance when new cameras
come out. The new AIQ plot is Figure 9.

Over the years, I have learned a LOT from your articles. I'm sure that
the effort to digest this one will be valuable as well.

Thanks for all your contributions here.
