    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

Sony's curved sensors may allow for simpler lenses and better images

Theoretically yes, but in practical use there are some problems. First, for every focal length, a different curved sensor would be needed to take full advantage of its benefits. Second, you probably would need to throw out every piece of glass you bought so far.

On the other hand, sensors are already in a state where there is little need for groundbraking improvements. The tech of a D800 or a alpha7 are are so good, that it is enough for the big majority of photographers. And part of the problems that such a sensor would solve, can also be solved with software (as Sony shows with their crapy kit lenses for the a6000.

Conclusion, nice tech, but my guess is, it won't be a future standard.

This obsession with Sony is starting to get very old. Starting to rival the religious fervor of the Church of the Apple.

Sony makes good sensors, Apple makes good products. The best engine in the world won't sell well if it's put in a car designed like a Yugo.
