I'll make more slides when I get a chance, but be aware that there
are many interacting parameters:
- increase the samples on an imager and you can use less-restrictive
filtering, so MTF goes up, but, if imager size is not increased, the
line pairs/mm goes up, too, so lens-based and diffraction-based MTF
go down
- increase imager size, and lp/mm goes down, so diffraction-based
MTF goes up, but aperture probably goes down, so diffraction-based
MTF goes down (not to mention lens weight issues)
- increase individual sensor size, and dynamic range goes up, but,
if done with pixel offset as in the AG-HVX200, the possibility of
color aliasing increases; large sensor sites also introduce aliasing
if the sensor size doesn't match the desired pixel size (for which
the optical filtering should be designed)
There's much more. Microlenses work great at narrow apertures but
poorly at wide apertures. Larger imagers can cause vignetting at
wide focal lengths (as on the Dalsa Origin).
I'll try to put more together when I get a chance. I'm afraid
there's no "the rest of the story," only "more of the story."
TTFN,
Mark
Thanks Mark.
Obviously there are many variables at work here.
There is one area that might yield some interesting results in the short term.
Perhaps you could focus on the cameras that are shooting with 2/3
inch CCD sensors with 2 Mpixel resolution and determine the relative
MTF of 1920 x 1080 versus 1280 x 720, as produced by the same camera
with the same lens.
