I posted many months ago about how pentax needs to release a compact with dedicated hotshoe and p-ttl flash to compete with canon's g series... and now nikon has one... I was posting about the need for a aps-c sized sensor in an evil cam with k-mount, and now this: everybody likes my ideas ex...

throw in a 60mm leaf shutter lens... That's old fashion why not a LCD shutter? I'm pretty sure the lcd would act like some kind of diffuser.. but those dlp chips that use micro mirrors could work.... Maybe there will be a sensor that just stays on and uses no shutter at all....

Sigma SD15?
Call me crazy but ive been looking at pics by the sigma SD14 and other foveon X3 pics and really like the results. The image quality and colours look great. Therefore im very tempted to get a SD15. I like how the SD15 will force me not to shoot in idiot mode (which i fall back on far too much) an...

Sigma releases SD1 (46Mp)
Is this sensor really so special or just a marketing? "46 megapixel 24×16mm APS-C X3 Full-colour image sensor The 46 megapixel (4,800×3,200×3 layers) 24×16mm APS-C X3 direct image sensor featured in the Sigma SD1 captures all primary RGB colours at each and every pixel location, ensuring the cap...

Sigma releases SD1 (46Mp)
It is different. As for special, it all depends how you look at it. Right now, all Sigma cameras use a lower res. version of that sensor, and the results are not like sensors with a Bayer grid. I wouldn't say it's better or worse, just different.

Sigma releases SD1 (46Mp)
They're being a bit silly calling it 46MP: it isn't, it's ~15MP. On normal sensors, there is what's called a Bayer pattern filter. To greatly simplify, the sensor only 'sees' the light level. There is then a filter which 'marks' each pixel as being of a particular colour. So for example one pixel...

Sigma releases SD1 (46Mp)
The Fovean sensor is logical in its construction in layers - very similar to the construction of a colour film. Sadly, performance has not so far been noteworthy and for whatever reeason only Sigma, a small player, have taken it up. It's worth continuing to watch.

I remember reading about this sensor in New Scientist or one of those when it was just a gleam in a scientist's eye. It is one to watch.

Sigma releases SD1 (46Mp)
The Sigma forum on the 'Big American Photography Website' has exploded with posters baying for the blood of the Sigma Executives. Everyone is discussing which brand they will jump ship to. At that price point I can understand their concern - for that money why not get a fully pro camera? Intere...

Sigma releases SD1 (46Mp)
I have seen results from the Foveon sensor, and I did like them, the colours were really nice - I think I saw it on DP1x/ DP2s However, the camera I saw was slow at writing, & it was quite expensive - about £400/500? Both these were put offs, but I have to say, it was a quality, well built cam...

Digital film cartridge.
Many of you will remember the e-film insert that was under development, about ten years ago. I have mentioned it on this forum before. Basically, it was an idea for a sensor cartridge that would fit inside a 35mm film camera, occupying the space where the film would go, with a very thin sensor plat...

Digital film cartridge.
Now... Technology has moved a long way forward since then. Perhaps now such a device could be made that had an FF sensor of say 5MP, a CF card slot and battery. Wouldn't it be great to be able to use our Spotmatics, KXs and LXs Digitally? - 'Course it would!. In fact, I would happily pay two to th...

Digital film cartridge.
I'd like something like this, IMHO its very feasable but the very small market for it means it would never take off IMHO: Full Frame sensors are expensive, You wouldn't want a silly little crop sensor in there. Most cameras have a different length from film cartrige to the frame (I know a good...

Digital film cartridge.
How would the sensor talk to the camera? HOw will you be able to release the shutter on the sensor or is it constantly taking photos and how will you able to change ISO? There are a lot of problems with the interface I believe :?

Digital film cartridge.
You could program ISO via a wifi connection and phone app (also a good way to check images, no need for a screen). Or just set the iso when you load the film canister. Why does the sensor need to talk to the camera??? a film doesn't. you could switch power to the cartrige on and off using the ...

Perhaps the sensor position adjustable on rails, rather than ribbon.

Digital film cartridge.
Anything exposed to the sensor is written when the "wind on" mech is activated. Sensor is fixed ISO either 100 or 400 or 64,000. 8 mega pixels would suffice at FF nice big pixels. You can send your camera off to have it fitted. I'll have one please.
