nugat Posted September 10, 2009 Share #81 Posted September 10, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Pixel pitch is no parameter for sensor age. Exactly the same pixel pitch might be an indication the core production line is the same. Especially with CMOS it's a telltale. Doesn't have to though.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted September 10, 2009 Share #82 Posted September 10, 2009 Can anyone, Leica or Sony lover confirm that the lower noise at higher ISO which is claimed for many cameras is due to software processing in camera? After all, the M9 has a new sensor. It should be closely comparable in low noise sensitivity with other sensors of its generation. Surely any significant difference in noise levels at higher ISO is due to Leica's decision not to impose detail-crushing noise suppression in camera? Mark What Leica has done is made some changes to the color filters the red filters overlap more with the greens,improving half tone recognition. They are also slightly more responsive. As a result, the green and blue channel require less amplification, which lowers the amount of noise. Noise is in the green and blue channels so with these adjustments and improving their electronics you will get better higher ISO values Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Roberts Posted September 10, 2009 Share #83 Posted September 10, 2009 How does the waiting while zooming compare with DMR? Hey Rick, I was going to say 'you've obviously never chimped a DMR' LOL!! I suspect they can improve performance on the uncompressed DNGs for chimping. What you're looking at is a JPEG on-the-fly from the RAW file, so it's going to take some time. I always wished they included a (lower fi) full-res JPEG in the DNG somewhere. The Canons and Nikons do that and that makes for very fast chimping (and for very fast previewing in RAW previewers like BreezeBrowser and PhotoMechanic). Heck, it takes my main computer system awhile to process uncompressed DNGs... I'm kind of amazed the M9 can do it all Hey--here's something for you to try... Can you shoot uncompressed DNG + low res JPEG? It will take a bit longer to write, but I wonder if the system is smart enough to quickly chimp the resulting JPEG instead?
