cfc for 240-250 thousand rubles. with a diffraction limit of no more than 7,5 - why is it needed? :-))))
Have you looked at the MTF of modern lenses at ~ 4-5.6 for a long time?
Damn, here's the diff. the limit has been irrelevant for 5 years now thanks to modern processing algorithms, and everything is straight from the carcass to jpeg. It's like complaining about vignetting now.
I don't think it's about the algorithms. My A7s is only 12MP, but f/16 is f/16. No chance.
Another thing is that the performance of modern glasses is already so high by 4-5.6 that the aperture will no longer need to be closed to obtain uniform sharpness across the field.
Well, some close the aperture not so much for the field as for the depth.
Absolutely agree! green and unripe covers for washing! And half-ripe just for sharpness! But smart photographers are exactly for the PLANNESS of the plot!
With slots for memory cards an error.

How to shoot with pulsed light with only electronic shutter?
Yes, flash sync speed is 1/200 sec.
Just like on the Z9 - no problem, shoot.
Where did this fashion come from, that they stopped putting normal physical shutters in cameras? Rave…
From the future:)
“when they realized that he didn’t need this mechanical shutter of yours for nothing”
Oh, interesting. Previously, the flash sync speed depended on the mechanical shutter. And now? There is no mechanical shutter, but the flash sync speed remains. What does this synchronization speed now depend on?
Now it depends on the speed of reading the matrix. Linear reading. In fact, the principle is the same as with a mechanical slotted shutter.
Maybe I'm stupid, but I still don't understand.
For a shutter speed of 1/32000, the readout speed is enough, but not enough for a flash.
When there was a film and a curtain shutter, the mechanics of the sync speed was clear.
As I understand it, with a central shutter, as, for example, in cameras, there should not have been a change in flash synchronization speed either (provided that the flash duration is less than the camera shutter speed)
Since the Z9, Nikon has ditched the mechanical shutter and touted it as one of its strengths.
Now the question arises.
Explain on your fingers where, in what place on the Z9 / Z8 cameras the shutter does not keep up with the flash, that you have to limit the shutter modes when working with flashes?
there is an FP mode, so there are no problems, shoot at any shutter speed with a flash that supports FP.
And for blocks, 1/200 or 1/320, it almost never really matters, cheap Chinese blocks were at least 1/125 in time
The question was not about synchronizers and Chinese products.
For example, take the native flash SB910 or SB5000. Install on the flash M 1/8. I'm not sure, but I think that the pulse duration will be less than 1/800. Mount the flash on the hot shoe of the Z8. The Z8 itself is also in M 1/640, so that the shutter speed is certainly faster than the sync shutter speed, but longer than the flash pulse duration.
What artifacts will be on the received frame, which will definitely convince you that when working with a flash not in FR mode, it is undesirable to use shutter speeds shorter than the sync shutter speed?
Here everything is the same as with a mechanical shutter.
The time window in which uniform flash illumination is possible is limited by the readout speed of the electronic shutter.
This is not a global electronic shutter, but a regular one - which reads in lines, from which a rolling shutter is created (non-simultaneous reading of different ends of the sensor).
When the shutter speed is 1/640 second, this means that the entire sensor will not be “opened” by the electronic shutter. One part of it will already finish exposure, and the other part will not start yet. And no matter how long the flash pulse is, even if it is shorter than 1/640 (for example, your 1/800 of a second), it will not be able to get into the time window of the “open” electronic shutter. As a result, there will be a classic artifact - part of the image is highlighted, part is not. This usually appears as a "black bar" at the bottom or top of the frame.
Yes you sho!? Is it pleasant and accurate to look at the synthetic screen? Or is it better to see a live frame !?
answer is here https://radojuva.com/2015/11/ovi-i-evi-ovf-and-evf/
The protection of the matrix is \u910b\u7bvisible and this is good. We have complicated the design of the display, because of the fields around it it seems small. Heavy - 705g (ZXNUMX II - XNUMXg), but nothing.
Ivan_Io, well, Z7 is in the same (in terms of size) case as Z5. They are sometimes too small for professional shooting with heavy optics. The Z8 is the successor to the D850 and, with the same dimensions, is 100 grams lighter.
Everything goes to the fact that the camera will look exactly like a smartphone, but with a FF matrix, But a smartphone with a small protrusion. As an algorithmic appendage, an appendage to optics, because only it will determine the image quality.
it will not look like a smartphone.
attach a kilogram lens to your smartphone and look like this for an hour))
there should be a comfortable grip and ergonomics that the smartphone will not give in any form.
Where to attach the flash? what about the video cover?
The trends will show. Actuators are rapidly decreasing in size.
I do not know.
