Maybe bigger sensors did not have this before? Maybe aligning the microlenses with the photosites over a reasonable range of temperatures has been only recently possible? near full frame probably means not as much smaller than 6x4.5 than before ;-) Frank On 22 Feb, 2007, at 06:04, Frank Filippone wrote: > I suggest all the digital mavens read through this new product info > from Hasselblad. > > http://www.hasselblad.com/promotions/h3d-31.aspx > > > There are a lot of new claims that surprised me...
