Is a 1/1.8" (7.18 x 5.32 mm) sensor sufficient for 10mp and 12mp?
Is a 1/1.8" (7.18 x 5.32 mm) sensor sufficient for 10mp and 12mp
of data? Or would a larger sensor be preferrable, such as a 2/3" or even 4/3"? Thanks |

80-400 probably

You've asked this question before, but worded a bit differently. I thought that you understood the many answering replies, but . . . The answer is that it depends. On the photographer. On the photographer's expectations. On the year. On the types of pictures you'll take. On all sorts of things, and for some photographers, not only will a 1/1.8" sensor forever be insufficient, some only accept FF sensors, deeming even APS-C sensors deficient due to their "insanely small pixels". Many others think that 1/1.8" sensors are more than sufficient for their needs, even with their large numbers of small pixels. The answers you get can only represent individual's preferences, and while it's unfortunate, you really have to form your own preferences by examination and testing, either of your own images or those taken by other photographers. If your preferences are formed by agreeing with someone that makes a good case for why *that individual* likes a particular type of sensor, you'll never have the satisfaction of discovering for yourself what works for *you*. Some find it simpler to be followers, becoming disciples of a photographic guru. And if that guru suddenly decides that not only are 4/3" sensors too small, now even APS-C sensors are as well, followers will follow to the Full Frame Promised Land, even if they've never made a single print any larger than 8" x 10" and have no desire to ever do so. If you can't afford to buy and try many cameras, you could easily download images produced by those 1/1.8", 2/3" and 4/3" sensors, and determine for yourself if they're lacking in the resolution that you want, or are too noisy at high ISOs for your purposes. I think that this has been suggested before. The answers that you're seeking will come from people whose tastes differ. That doesn't mean that some are right and that the others are wrong. What I'm trying to say is that at some point you need to end the asking and do your own tasting. |

I was asked to be more specific, so I chose a specific sensor
size and two specific resolutions. You've asked this question before, but worded a bit differently. I thought that you understood the many answering replies, but . . . |

I was asked to be more specific, so I chose a specific sensor size and two specific resolutions. But my reply was to your OP, the first one in this thread. It had nothing to do with David's reply that asked about the ISO you want to use. Or was the more specific question one that was posed in another thread? If so, you might have have included some "in context" quotes. It appears that you missed the "big picture" of my last reply, one that might have had you see that introspection would be more beneficial than asking more specific questions. But that's what works for me, and evidently doesn't or won't for you. As I hinted, implied, suggested . . . I think that previous replies contained enough information to answer to your new, specific questions, assuming that you'd spend enough time digesting them. |

I do agree that we see far too many posts where the dross in not sufficiently trimmed. I prefer to keep the text in top-to-bottom order of writing, as used in most Western books, newspapers, magazines etc. for the last several centuries. I'm glad you found my answer useful. David |

I keep hearing from students and folks with laptops that since
they only have 800 vertical pixels, they get annoyed scrolling down. Hard to please everyone, it seems. Anyway, thanks. Paul D.
