This is going to be the A900 sensor, because of the oddball output design that Sony claims reduces high ISO noise, but in practice so far doesn't outperform the same sensor with a conventional channelized output. See D300 vs A700 noise comparisons for examples. Also as this design uses on-chip NR, you can't disable the NR (And Sony's NR costs visible detail)
Likely if this shows up in any non-Sony bodies it will be with a conventional output. But since Nikon's likely to use the D3's sensor in any lower-$$ FF body and always uses their own designs in the Single-digit line and Pentax's revealed sensor production & design capabilities, I don't expect to see this sensor in many non-Sony bodies. A Pentax FF body will almost assuredly use a Pentax-designed, Samsung-fabbed sensor. -Adam On 1/30/08, Brendan MacRae <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Let's hope it will be an off the shelf item and not > reserved for the Sony Alpha 1. > > -Brendan > --- Cotty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > <http://www.dpreview.com/news/0801/08013001sony35mmcmossensor.asp> > > > > Interesting. > > > > I'm feeling peckish again. > > > > <http://www.cottysnaps.com/snaps/spare2.html> > > > > -- > > > > > > Cheers, > > Cotty > > > > > > ___/\__ > > || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche > > ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com > > _____________________________ > > > > > > > > -- > > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > > [email protected] > > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link > > directly above and follow the directions. > > > > > > > ____________________________________________________________________________________ > Never miss a thing.
