NHK announces 8K sensor.

[Mark Toia]

4K just became obsolete!!!

As I wrote before that the future is definitely in a kind of mix from various different resolution formats.

I agree! - I think the world will skip 4k... and just jump to 8k ! what not!

2.8 micron pixels - so it is diffraction limited at about f/2.8. Very few lenses perform well at f/2.8 and wider apertures.
I think the only way is to grow the size of the sensor, not making the pixels smaller. Just my opinion.

Correct, sir! Which I think is why the original roadmap for Epic goes next to 6K SLR full frame, then 9K 645 - with the same size pixels and true IMAX film comparable resolution.
