Not exactly. Pixel shifting doesn't increase lens resolving power, it takes multiple shots with the sensor shifted. So if this was a 400mp camera rather than a 100mp one, the results would be worse. It's all semantics though, because with any camera you can get this level of detail, it just takes more work and stitching shots.
lens generates a flow of light. it can't be sharp or not sharp. any lens that is focused on something gives a light. the main work is to absorb the most of this flow of light in a small amount of time on a surface. thats where MP counts. so its fully the work of matrix
It essentially halves the pixel pitch from 3.7 to 1.8.. you need 190lp/mm to utilize 1.8micron pixels. Its pretty much the best that current optics can possibly do. The largest noticeable effect comes from having full RGB info. In bayer sensors the megapixel ratings are misleading, a 100mp bayer sensor is only 33mp sensor in color (rest is interpolated). One pixel is actually 4 pixels on the sensor. So the bayer sensor basically has 7.4micron pixels. Pixels that big only can utilize around 50lp/mm resolving power from the lens. It does not go exactly like this, as bayers are asymmetric.. having twice as many green pixels as blue & red pixels.
@@ilyasnamozov2914 eat less acid :) its exactly the lens that can be sharp. MP only defines the image size. Its about the pixel pitch & lens resolution.
I think a real world application would this would be to try and capture the beauty of old paintings etc. Being able to capture and reserve this much detail in a digital file is amazing. Normal everyday shooting, not really but that's not the purpose of this. Really cool to see.
Now imagine Fuji introduces a 1:1 reproduction ratio macro lens, and then use that with the pixel shift function to digitize a 6x6 film negative by stitching parts of the photographed negative together......
@@samsonkipp probably so! I use Nikon D800 to digitize film negatives, and the results are already mind blowing. I could get ~56MP for each frame after stitching.
iXG with 100/150 Mpx's, 1×120mm Scheider-Kreutznach and 3-4 extensions are just enough for 6×6 w/o stitching 🤤 BTW ROI is significant in such cases, Fuji/Sony etc does not guarantee a sufficiently long mechanical shutter life (when I mean sufficiently >2-10 mio shots)
I am beyond amped to get this camera. The fact that made this a feature and it's something I already do manually is going to save so much time and make for an overall better image. Appreciate the video demo!
At work we have a phase one 100mp and a new fuji gfx 100 since a few days ago now and I work on 100mp files on a daily basis. I wouldn´t trade my private fuji apsc cameras and lenses for systems like that, because my fuji x-t3 actually IS JUST FINE in the best way. Like Yoda said: With higher resolution comes great responsibility. ;)
@@ThisIsWideAngle I would LOVE the GFX especially since it shoots 4k 30p as well AND has IBIS. But for the work I do the XT3 is such a workhorse and I love it and will keep mind for quite some time.
This is essentially what we use in astronomy, a process made by the HST team to process undersampled data. The amount of details you can get on the pod is crazy.
The movement might already be too much. Even 100mp are already pretty damn sensible. Wasn´t there a hardware solution which compensates earth rotation?
@@INSTINCT777 For what? There are way too many full frame camera makers on the market already. And the gain of FF is just not worth it, imo. Atleast not in the mirrorless line. Lenses get a lot bigger, heavier and more expensive on FF, which kinda neglects the whole idea of mirrorless in the first place. Just my 2cents tho.
Happy to see this video online. I purchased GFX 100 last year. Although i expected a 4K 60 Fps update since its advertised strongly as a Video camera as well it seems its not happening. Nevertheless its an amazing piece of technology. Do you believe that Apple DOES NOT SUPPORT GFX100 raw files yet.? The dual batteries are somehow not as good as the Sony Zs so I strongly advise at least 3 pairs for a days work. The camera and lenses are surprisingly light compared to their volume plus weather resistant. If you want to take this camera on a trip then make space for a medium to large backpack to accommodate enough padding for protection.
you know I was thinking about a something like pixel shifting in the past where the camera would focus higher then a sub pixel and then shift which is kinda what this camera does I think I got the idea from CRT monitors since they are just one pixel wizzing around the screen to get an image
Sometimes higher resolution isn't the answer for everything. It's perfect for digitizing paintings but sometimes lower resolution but much higher image quality per pixel is much more important at getting an amazing image. That's basically how ari cinema cameras work. The old ones might not be able to shoot at 8K but the 1080p footage that comes out of these sensors is just amazing and very realistic.
I'm surprised that Fuji and Sony actually state the full RGB resolution for this rather than greyscale like tye standard resolution. For example the Sony A7R4 takes 16x 61mp to use 976mp from the beyer sensor. Since it is combining each 4 images into a true 61mp RGB 4 times on a computer and then multiplying that by 4 it ends up as 244, in the same way this Fuji is doing 407mp. That's pretty impressive. Finding lenses to resolve that detail whilst requiring a completely still subject and an extremely sturdy tripod is the challenge tho.
its surprising that the pixel pitch isnt too bad even tho it has such a high resolution. Imagine adding a peltier to the sensor and using it for astrophotography
I downloaded a few images in 400mp resolution which were online in december and now yours. All of them have tiny, but noticable pixel artefacts in structures and contrast-lines. I wonder if this is noticeable if the resolution is downscaled and how much improvement in sharpness there still is because of the higher resolution of the, but the 400 mp file isn´t as clear as the 100mp resolution image and not quite usable in full resolution. We have the fuji gfx 100 at work since last week but I didn´t have the time to test the pixelshift option myself.
I have the same issue with mine and I thought it was user error. To be fair I have to pixel peep at insane zoom levels to notice them, so unless you are goint to print a 10m print you might not notice it. I tried to combined two pixel shift images with one taken slightly offset and at an angle before averaging them in photoshop. It cleans it up but only works if you are photographing a perfectly flat subject. Otherwise you introduce perspective/parallax issues
There is a program called Image Composite Editor by Microsoft, if u wanna mess around whit huge pictures just grab a 200mm zoom take 30 pictures of something, and stitch tame together hit this software! Ist really fun creating pictures whit resucuciones in the range of Gigapixels !
Photographers: my goodness! This camera is a beast! Non photographers: psh. My galaxy s21 is 108MP. This camera isn’t anything special. I’ve run into that person before. Quite hilarious.
Probably not really, you will hit the lens resolution limit and diffraction limit. I do macros and usually I push macro lenses over their limits by using macro rings. Beyond a point I don't get any more details.
A macro lens won't capture such detail, regardless of the shooting camera. That level of detail requires a microscope with lab-grade microscope objective lenses. As an engineer working in a nanotechnology company, I produced such micro images that revealed fairly distinct detail at about 1/3 micron (>350 nanometers), beyond which diffraction was a hard limit of visible light. For reference, a single pixel in a Canon EOS R5 is about 4 microns wide; so, a good microscope would achieve a slightly blurry, but legibly detailed image of a pixel.
I've been using the GFX100 for landscape and art reproduction (with the GF120 Macro) for a couple of years now. Absolutely amazing camera, but I must say that the pixelshift feature was a letdown for me. Even though I'm shooting art in studio using a heavy industrial stand rather than a tripod, the combined image always carried some artifacts. Perhaps it's time for me to revisit Fujifilm's combiner to see if there have been any recent updates. That said, the standard file is near on 1m @300ppi natively and it interpolates beautifully. This allows for print sizes well beyond the maximum width of our Canon printers (1.4m), so there is not much to be gained for the "naked eye" viewing of the printed result anyway..... especially when I capture the larger or odd-shaped artworks (that don't maximise use of the sensor in a single frame) on the rolling wall and stitch anyway.
400MP is insane considering the size of the camera as the largest camera in the world takes up to 3200MP courtesy of SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory it is absolutely amazing how far technology has come.
that's a tad outrageous, in the best way possible. oh lord. i want this thing, or the new one. BUT I need it to work flawlessly in video via Ninja V. Great video!
since we cant see the pixels move with our eyes.. how about to take a pixel shift image of the sensor of another camera performing pixel shift .. them maybe we can tell the movement if you stitch it all together in a video with 500% zoom or something like that
