The S2's sensor uses an RGBI pattern rather than the Bayer pattern, which according to Kodak improves sensitivity (i.e., less noise at higher ISO).
I think they said that they would be 2x faster than anything else at the market now. Correct me if im wrong anyone. 1.5 frames per second should be right then?I'm confused
Today my Phase 25 plus can shoot EVERY 1.5 seconds, meaning i cannot shoot until 1.5 pass by. So reality is I have to wait 1.5 seconds to shoot again. Sometimes eternity. Anyway so in a 3 second time frame i can get 2 shots off
Now here is how I read the S2 it says 1.5 Frames per second. To me they are saying it different like Canon or Nikon would, that being within a 1 second time frame the shutter will go 1.5 times within that second. So reality is within a 3 second time frame the shutter will go 1.5 x 3 times equalling 4.5 frames
I know i am right on the Phase because that is what it is i have to WAIT 1.5 seconds before hitting the shutter again but am i reading the Leica S2 correctly like the canons and Nikons meanings of FPS
If you are right, then Leica had better make it pretty damned fast in both ISO ranges and buffer speeds! Not to mention competitive pricing!!! I don't think so somehow.When it comes to pros, I think this will impact the top end of Canon as much as the bottom end of MF.
Interesting... Do you have a link to any of this sensor information?The Kodak TrueSense technology also counts electron 'holes' instead of the electrons which according to Kodak give 1 to 2 stops better noise performance. This is used in both CCD and CMOS sensors.
I concur with the statement here. This thing is wonderful. The size is smaller than my old Pentax 67, and much more agile.Thanks. Very exiting video actually.
