A camera with a sensor bigger than 8 by 10 inches??!!

I've heard of large sensor groups used for wide field scientific work, but this take the cake. I don't know what exactly this sensor might be like.

Sure. Here's a prototype waitng for the camera to be mounted: https://media.aws.iaaf.org/media/Lar...ef6bda97df.jpg -- teleportation kills |

I should have said graphs 'cause I don't care for "scores" of any kind either. Anyways, they are merely recycling the data that they harvest for their software. -- teleportation kills |

"Much" higher noise? I seriously doubt it. S/N has more parameters than just pixel size. -- best regards, Neil |

"Much" higher noise? yes. I seriously doubt it. then you don't understand physics. S/N has more parameters than just pixel size. so what? the dominant factor for noise is pixel size. larger pixels collect more light. basic physics. the 12mp 8x10 camera has 75 micron pixels. those are *huge*. its base iso is 2100, versus a base iso of 100-200 on a typical slr. https://www.dpreview.com/files/p/art...eSense-Sensor- Size-Comparison-x800.jpeg size matters. full frame sensors have about a stop less noise than crop sensors, which have about a stop less noise than micro 4/3rds, which have a lot less noise than compact cameras and certainly cellphone cameras, which have tiny sensors and very aggressive noise reduction (which works fairly well, but not without compromise). |
