Andy, Lag needs to be negligible, that's a non-negotiable. I know that's going to be possible to fix once they put the appropriate logic in the sensor support chip. This will be achieved eventually because it's only a matter of faster and denser electronics. From the market side of things it should be driven by the convergence of video and still cameras. My first imagining of how a digital Leica should look was a sensor flextaped to a module the size of a film cassette. You would load it as an alternate to film. This is completely possible, somebody tried it awhile back but the performance was terrible. It's just a matter of time. For a look at the impossible, have a look at the state of the art for sensor size today, 80mm X 80mm, and 85 Mpixels: http://www.fairchildimaging.com/products/fpa/ccd/area/ccd_595.htm Not affordable today for sure, but remember how things go with digital gear: Computers in future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons.It was said that heavier-than-air flight, rockets leaving the atmosphere, radio, and atomic energy were all absolutely impossible, usually the most vehemently just before they were achieved. -- Charlie Falke _____ /\ | __/\__/------/__) |(____\/_________/ "One test result is worth | |/ `o one thousand expert opinions" - Wernher Von Braun 0 N4003M "Imagination is more important than knowledge" - Albert Einstein------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www.lrflex.furnfeather.net/ Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/ |
