Comparing Weapon/DSMC Cams: by Resolution

[Nick Morrison]

So I made this little chart for myself, and thought I'd share (see chart below). Feel free to double-check the math, but I think i'm right!

My reason for doing this is simple. In an earlier thread, Marcus Friedlander very smartly said:

It's misleading to think of 6k as only 1 "K" bigger than 5k. A more accurate way to look at it is that 6k is more than 30% bigger than 5k. And as someone who shoots 6k VERY frequently. I can confidently say that the extra 30% makes a HUGE difference.

And that really made me think. Because he has a point. Sometimes it's easy to get numbed by the K's, and you loose sight of just how BIG 6K or 8K is.

So I crunched the math. And here's what I found. Pretty fascinating when you look at the naked numbers!!

Hope this is useful. Again, if anything is wrong, just let me know and I'll update!


DSMC2 CAMERA COMPARISION: by Resolution/MP

WEAPON 8K = 35.4MP (8192 x 4320)
45% more REZ than Weapon 6K (ie = almost TWO Weapons!!) (1.82x the data)
61% more REZ than Scarlet-W (2.56x the data)
72% more REZ than Raven (ie = close to FOUR Raven's!) (3.58x the data)


WEAPON 6K = 19.4MP (6144 x 3160)
29% more REZ than Scarlet-W (1.4x the data)
49% more REZ than Raven = ie TWO RAVENS!! (1.95x the data)


SCARLET-W 5K = 13.8MP (5120 x 2700)
28% more REZ than Raven (1.4x the data)


RAVEN 4.5K = 9.9MP (4608 x 2160)

Weapon 8K is 35.3894 MP (Mega PIXELS of bayer data...) Not MB, maybe go back and correct the terminology in your post above... ;-)

Ahhh FACK. Knew I fucked up somewhere. And it had to be YOU to spot it!! Haha.

Updating now.

PS - done. Updated! Thanks!

Hahaha thanks for the shoutout Nick!!!! I'm honored!!!!!

Love this chart! Can't believe that 8k is that freaking huge!!!!!! Now I get why Jarred has been saying how insanely hard it is to manufacture these cameras.

Haha. My pleasure!! You made some great points, and I honestly couldn't stop thinking about them. So kudos to you!!

Yeah - 8K looks INSANE. When I made this chart...that's when it dawned on me how completely NUTS 8K is. WOW!

Wow!!!!!
Thanks Nick, puts it into proper perspective.

Nick, your percentages are off. 100% MORE than x = 2x = twice the amount.

That! Also remember that roughly 20% of the resolution goes away after the debayer has been applied so the numbers will vary for effective captured resolution.
