[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 723533, member: 7240"] Often the advancements in sensor technology have been greatly exaggerated, in press and by independent reviewers. Every new camera model is always touted to have [I]2 stops better sensor [/I]than the predecessor, to the dismay of everybody actually trying the cameras out by themselves. In all honesty the total improvement in noise and dynamic range is about 3-4 stops from Nikon D1 (1999) to Nikon D5 (2016), and most of it (~3 stops) happened before year 2008. The last decade has provided maybe 0.7 stops improvement all in all. This track record suggests to me that a breakthrough is required. Current tech has ran out of juice. Then again a digital camera has 2 sides, the digital side and the camera side, and for me the camera has always been more important. [/QUOTE]
