Brave New World

Kodak is bringing out a medium format sensor with 50 000 000 pixels. “We can’t help notice that about 25 million of those 6-micron pixels would fit into the approximately 24mm x 36mm space of a full-frame (small format) digital SLR sensor” says the popphoto blog. At Kingpin, we cant help but wonder whether that full frame small format digital SLR would shoot sequences at 8 frames per second. That way you could print a single 20 frame sequence across 40 pages of a magazine, which means we would only have to shoot about two and a half sequences every month to fill the mag. Divided between the four of us snappers that works out less than 2/3 of a sequence a month. If it comes to that, I’m claiming the first two thirds, let Sem and Benjamin worry about the landing when Dom and I shoot the take offs.
