The “Crazy Sony Management” guy is crazy himself.
To say that Sony should “Price a good high resolution monitor at $500 or less and photographers around the world will see the value in the great new cameras.” is just ludicrously ignorant of the sheer diversity of photographers.
How about fine art printing?
How about the amateur that prints for fun in places like The Printspace in London?
How about cropping?
How about stock photography?
How about wedding photography?
How about photojournalists submitting to newspapers?
How about photojournalists submitting to competitions that may print the work?
How about anyone submitting to any competition that may print the work?
How about getting off your desk and see proper digital prints to see the value in sensor evolution? Or maybe try to submit your work to a stock agency? or maybe even try to sell some of your work at 2mp?
Obviously, all brands are just plain wrong to produce high resolution sensors because they just take up from where film scanners, big dark room enlargers and large emulsion papers left…
Ignorance at its worst.
When I talk about higher resolugion that is the same reaction i get from sar readers that no one needs higher resolution and sony should not make it.
The best 36mp camera forces us to choose.
Do you want a bird OR a feather
A tree OR a leaf
A building OR a brick
A person OR a hair
When I look at thes subjects I can see both but my camera cant.
To capture my both requires about 200mp.
Todays high quality primes on a ff camera can handle in excess of 300np.y
I dont expextt 200mp soon but A ff camera costs 3x what a crop c cameda costs and has 2.25x the sensor are
Anything less than 56mp is lower resolution than a 24mp crop sensor.
I want a new ff camera but I do not want a lower resolution camera than my c sensor camera.
For 3Xthe the money I want 3x the pixels.
I am not content shooting birds without feathers. They dont fly.
BTW
The next generation of tv after 4k is 8k.
That will require 50mp just to match the screen resolution (slight cropping to match the format)
The low res crap we are forced to shoot now wont even be suitable for a tv screen.
Pro video for the film industry will be using 8k sooner.
When 8k arrives sooner than we think there will not even be any content available for it.
All the pictures we spent our lives shooting will be recognized for what they are….. LOW RES CRAP
Given your reaction, I decided to read that blog post. I wish I wouldn’t have.
Sorry. It got me by surprise. I thought I was going to be interesting.
Me too 🙂
That dude writing about the craziness of Sony management would probably more than satisfied with a 2MP camera since “the monitor can’t display more than 2MP”.
Why some people do write, still remain a mistery to me…
2MP… 😀
Ignorance is bliss. Ignorance about what you can really do with a picture, besides put it on internet.
The Lenscoat on the 500G is fugly

super t-shirt
I was totally blown away with that flash. Never seen one with that attachment before and thought to myself, why the heck is he using a flash for something so far away?! And sure enough, he lit up those monkeys! Amazing. His t-shirt cracks me up too. Talk about geekiness lol. I wouldn’t go that far for my love of photography, but I totally would for architecture (I’m a graduate arch student)
Like the T-Shirt!
It never passed my mind before, but the video clearly demonstrates the use of full time, full speed, AF with liveview when having a telelens on a tripod.
– So much easier than chasing subjects thru the viewfinder!
