Fujifilm reportedly working on 180MP medium format camera

  Hello. Diffraction limit calling, who am I speaking to? Yeah hi, it is Fuji medium format 180MP camera. How it is going ? Ok just remember than any aperture smaller than f/5.6 will be affected by diffraction ok. Anything smaller won’t be sharper, you will just have to save larger files and won’t have more details in your image. Well, am I just a marketing gimmick them? Yes you are… that’s ok. Fuji is also selling the xhalf, we still love you.

    As a real life example, the Canon 600mm F11 telephoto lens should be awful, on, say, a 32MP crop sensor R7. That’s insane pixel density somewhere in the ballpark of this Fuji.

    …But look at real life shots of that exact combo, and they’re sharp as hell. Sharper than a Sigma at F6.3.

    The diffraction limit is something to watch out for, but in reality, stuff like the lens imperfections, motion blur, atmospheric distortion and such are going to get you first. You don’t need to shoot at F4 on this thing to make use of the resolution, even if that the ideal scenario.

    I may not be representative of a larger sample, but I used medium format for landscapes, and always shallow depth of field. For sharper images, I used longer lenses on a 35mm camera. So, a diffraction issue wouldn’t be bothering me on a medium format camera, if I ever even found the money to get one.

    I don’t know much about photography, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but would something like focus stacking help with this?

    That is to say, make the lens less of a bottleneck so you could benefit from a higher resolution sensor.

      See: www.omnicalculator.com/other/hyperfocal-distance

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfocal_distance

      But TL;DR: for distant landscapes on a wide field of view lens, you can shoot at F5.6 and everything is in focus. I even do this at F1.4 on my lowly aps-c camera.

      For portraits, you want background blur anyway.

      And if you’re doing anything else on a medium format camera, you’re kind of insane, heh.

  Fujifilm wants to simulate the film experience by having 30 shots fill up a 128 gb sd card

    Well, you can just calculate the maximum number of bytes per image to see what the actual capacity is. 128M pixels * 3 bytes per pixel is 384 Megabytes. Should go down to 100 each after JPEG compression.

      If you’re spending this much on a camera and only shooting JPEG, what are you doing lol

      Increase by 25-50% if you want HDR color specs.

  Is high MP with real detail an actual thing AI can’t generate easily?

  • mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    AI generated detail is not something anyone wants in an actual camera, it usually looks odd. but i doubt 180mp vs 50mp is going to make much difference other than massive file size

      I’m saying as a way to detect a real photo vs AI. An ai photo at 180 would have giveaways…

  Christ fujifilm, we just want an xPro-4 with 50 megapixels and IBIS. That’s it.

  The Xpro-3 is 7 years old now.

    Sad x-pro 2 noises

    • SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I’ve got an X-Pro1, I can relate.

      That thing has taken some of my favorite photos though, I just wish it were faster.

    This, mainly so I can buy used when y’all upgrade.

  Oh. Oh my. I’ve always wanted a medium format, but I’m also really happy with Fuji. Þis could be a perfect storm for me.

  If they pay this out by August I’ll buy it for a trip

    No interest in the GFX100RF?

    • panda_abyss@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Is that a fixed 35 prime lense?

      I do have a Fuji 35 prime and it’s fantastic, but I’m looking for something interchangeable

  I don’t think I want to waste 40MB per photo.
