Ayer vi la publicación de la completísima entrevista que Imaging Resource tuvo con los gerifaltes de Sony en la pasadísima CP+ pero me dio apuro contárosla porque era enorme y me daba pereza leérmela toda para poder resumirla.
Hoy veo que los chicos de Sony Addict han resumido sus puntos importantes, y ahora sí que me atrevo a contárosla.
Este es el resumen ejecutivo que han hecho:
- Sony thinks they can continue to increase high ISO performance
- Pixel surface area matters more than the depth
- Sony thinks IR gets a little too deep for readers when they continue to push for how Sony will improve performance
- Sony just wants it understood that only they have the sensor technology that allows for good high ISO performance right now and will continue to push the mirrorless market forward
- To get AF tracking right you have to go beyond pixel data and go to object orientated tracking
- Having the imaging and AF data together lets this smart AF system work in a way DSLR’s can not
- At some point in the future, the camera might have some AI involved inside for tracking
- Currently, Sony is using general computing for AF, but by the time next gen CPUs come out for cameras, Sony thinks they could have AI in the camera for AF.
- Frame rates are getting fast, but currently, there isn’t a great method for taking a frame out of the video for photography.
- Video and photos also require a different mindset
- Sony tests 100 different types of AF scenarios when developing their AF system
- For developing their long telephoto AF they have gone beyond testing 100 different types of AF
- Sports and nature require a lot of additional testing and Sony is putting addition thought into their interface
- The 400mm f/2.8 was developed to satisfy sports and nature photographers
- The 400mm f/2.8 will be light and it balances well on their current bodies
- Once again APS-C hasn’t been forgotten
Los culpable absolutos de toda esta paliza son, por orden de aparición:
- Lo he visto en Photo Rumors
- La monstruosa entrevista completa está en Imaging Resource
- Y el resumen ejecutivo está en SonyAddict
Pregunta tonta: ¿ el por qué Imaging Resource ha tardado tres meses en publicar la entrevista, es algo que a este pequeño saltamontes no se le alcanza ? ¿ Será cosa de becarios o será cosa de “business” ?
