The Fuji buy in to Toshiba four years ago was the first hint that something was in the wings. Nikon are busy dumping Sony in favour of Toshiba too. The D7100 is their latest Toshiba based sensor camera. Seems Toshiba is on the up but only because they have demonstrated extreme quality with their sensor fabs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-19024177654628229722013-11-03T16:13:52.907+02:002013-11-03T16:13:52.907+02:00No, x-trans is not a Sony sensor.

Sony are falling back considerably due to serious lack of finances. Sony make the best 12MP sensor base ever made in my book, but x-trans no way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-19076627049598596172013-08-21T22:54:11.224+03:002013-08-21T22:54:11.224+03:00 Yeah so the fact the RGB is completely different ...

One can expect a better luminance SNR, all things being equal with Bayer.<br /><br />When it comes to the shading and crosstalk correction across the area, there are 9 different greens that need to be brought to the exact same level, so that the eye does not perceive the difference between them as a noise. Doing it across the range of different lenses might be challenging (it's an interchangeable lens camera). Not to talk about 4 different reds and 4 blues.Vladimir Koifmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800020176563544699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-80328266454702747502012-01-10T12:00:51.970+02:002012-01-10T12:00:51.970+02:00Removing Moire ???

As I mentioned earlier, we did some tests with an 8x8 semi-randomized CFA pattern, and we still had some Moire left. <br />Other observation : you will get two reds, two blues and maybe up to four greens. But these days processing power and memory are coming for free ... ;-)Albert Theuwissennoreply@blogger.com
