Sony to launch 102MP full-frame camera sensor – Report

Sony is set to launch a 102 megapixel full-frame camera sensor, according to leaks from EOSHD.

Code-named IMX555CQR, the sensor is expected to roll out to Sony’s consumer cameras and will reportedly be available to other camera manufacturers.

Do you have a strong opinion on this?

Someone could take a picture of the moon and then zoom into the lunar landers

The upcoming Lenovo Z6 Pro could be the first smartphone to market with a 100-megapixel camera if a new statement by the company is to be believed.

This is better than the Samsung camera you can shoot billboards with this

Now people can take pictures of their food and coffee in 102MP

great. not much glass out there that will resolve this . its not always the quantity of pixels, the the quality that matters

The current G Master lenses are made to resolve high MP, so shouldn't be an issue.

Phase One is already selling a 100 MP drone camera using a medium format Sony sensor. Fujifilm have announced an upcoming 100 MP camera (also medium format). It looks like this resolution may be in demand.

How good will night shots be?

How good will night shots be?

That depends on the ISO performance and not necessarily the megapixels.

After like 10MP there are diminishing returns for most use cases, even 8MP can be overkill.

Aperture, ISO, frame time, software processing etc. Plays such a huge role after. Just look at the pixel cameras, the lens itself is okay, it's the software that makes it amazing.

That's not saying 100MP+ has no use case or isn't that good, just that it won't be that useful for most.

Great. More advanced cameras that'll highlight my pores and trace the yellow lining on my teeth.

That is how much mb per image?

Keep it.

You only need about 2mp for a billboard.

So you can see that pimple in clear detail? I just don't see the point of anything over 24MP. Another 1MP gives you 2% more pixels but you need to add 72MP to get 100% more. At 96MP another 1MP only gives you 0.5% more pixels. At some point you reach the truth of diminishing returns.

Google images going to accommodate this? Would I really like '100 meter by 100 meter' nudes

But now you can have a billboard in 8K

Was busy with a billboard job today. It's a 8M x 4M billboard with a resolution of 576x288... so yeah, resolution isn't a thing.

Pixels have little to do with print.
