Fuji is about to rain on the Canon parade.

I shoot on a Fuji S2 but I think Canon is still better, especially the 1ds. But look at the 4th generation super CCD on the Fuji UK website. http://www.fujifilm.co.uk/
go to latest digital news

No Camera announcement yet but you know it's in the works. Hopefully based on the F100 or F5.

Re: Fuji is about to rain on the Canon parade.

By 4th I asume you are talking about the one with extended dynamic range they say 1-2 more stops. Tis sounds very nice but from there press release it is not a very high mega pixel chip. if I recall it is a 3 mega pixel. If this is the case I dont see many EOS1DS and 1D users rushing over to the store to replace all there glass and accesories.

US Fuji website says 6 megapixel and slightly larger than full frame. very exciting. 4x the dynamic range of the S2.

Re: Fuji is about to rain on the Canon parade.

It gets a bit confusing. Fuji has some terminology, though.

The sensor has three million photosites:

Photosite: The area on a sensor where the light from one point of the image is received. The light entering the photosite passes through one microlens and one colour filter. With a traditional sensor, there is one photodiode beneath the microlens, whereas with Double Honeycomb Super CCD, there are two photodiodes: a primary and a secondary photodiode.

The sensor has six million photodiodes:

Photodiode: A single, light-sensing element on a sensor.

Because of the interpolation used (it's a honey-comb structure), the camera produces a 6-million pixel image.

Pixel: A final point of picture information in the outputted image. This normally equates to one printed 'dot', or a square of information on the image when displayed on a monitor.

Re: Fuji is about to rain on the Canon parade.

Higher dynamic range sounds wonderful; until it comes to converting files to CMYK for press and then it gets compressed into a tiny colourspace with little definition in the blacks etc etc [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]
