>>2923607Ayy, I leave 4chinks for a week and this thread happens, kill me.
>>2927221Pixel shift no, but a definite yes if it had in-body IS. I know two of the lenses have IS already, but I'd really like to have all my legacy glass be stabilized as well. The body is certainly large enough to support such a system.
50MP is also enough for me to print 40x60" from a single file and have pristine image quality, so I'm not aware of the niche that desires more, but image stacking for the purpose of obtaining a true RGB image is indeed a good cause.
And also a yes on sensor size, I would much rather see Pentax optimize the system around 33x44 than try and stuff an FF sensor in, when they already have a god-tier 28-45mm that'll only work on this format. If they make a killer standard and long zoom using the same design principles, this would be a system to be reckoned with. There are several aspects where they can easily shrink the camera size as well; it's as thick as if it had a film back attached currently.
>>2927241>As far as I understand, Fuji's camera is going to be one third of the size.Isn't the rumor that it's going to be a DSLR? The Hasselblad H1D is already 1/3rd the thickness of the 645Z, but if it's going to be an SLR, then that's big mirror you're dealing with. The Leica S is highly optimized in this regard and they even picked the 30x45mm format to keep the mirror short, so it wouldn't be smaller than it is.
>>2927571>There's not a "MF look." When you match FoV and DoF (note I did not say focal length and aperture) there's hardly any difference between formats in good light.In practice, photographers rarely go out of their way to match FoV and DoF, I tend to shoot MF differently than I would small format.
What I have found is that even at relatively similar DoF levels, MF actually gives the greater impression of depth, due to the smoother roll-off between what's in-focus and what isn't.
