So the cat is out of the bag. Sony announced a 250 megapixel 54x36mm sensor - 3:2 crop instead of 4:3.
Its not confirmed whether a photographic sensor would also have the same dimensions and megapixels, but it looks like the successor to the 150 megapixel sensor.
It would be interesting to see whether certain features are seen as deal killers or key features worth upgrading for.
Below a poll to get a better understanding of the interest in an IQ5.
Most likely it'll cost 45-50k and 25-30k with IQ4 trade in. 35k ish with an older back.
For that amount of money, there's little room for compromise in key wanted features.
If there's no trade-in policy as has been the case forever with P1, which brings you to a max. of ca. 25k, its gonna be a very difficult sell in today's market as we have arrived at diminishing returns of higher resolution + new alternatives (Fuji, Hassy, upcoming S4).
So what would make you want to upgrade, if at all, to a 54x36mm IQ5?
