Thanks! However, as many early reviews this is nearly worthless as they're shooting jpeg only.

Plus for a comparison, they should resize 50mp->36mp and then compare in different shooting situations to find out if the increased resolution is a nice "extra" and you can just downsize, or if the "crop-style" smaller pixels have more drawbacks than just larger file size.

Other than what the Sony boys write, I do find the difference 36/50 noticeable, it's certainly more than the usual 18/20/22 of current Canon sensors.

Because, as we all know, only the sensor matters. :
