Subtle charm

Night street view in Gion, Kyoto.

 

Soft lighting filtering out through the traditional wooden lattices (Kōshi, 格子) at the ground floor and bamboo blinds (Sudare, 簾 or すだれ) at the 2nd level, both employed for privacy of the customers inside.

 

This is the quieter section of Gion in the Shirakawa area, a walk back in time.

Meanwhile, Nikon is rumored to be using Sony 61mp sensor for the next Gen mirrorless pro-spec model (Z8 or Z9?). As Nikon’s mirrorless market share is rather small, there is a high chance that they will be using this same 61mp sensor for their DSLR D880 successor to the D850 for economies of scale. D880 will be like the D780 which offers better live-view shooting thanks to the on-sensor PDAF points in addition to the separate DSLR PDAF module.

 

With both Nikon and Sigma (newly launched “fp L”) using the 61mp sensor similar to the one on the Sony A7R4, there’s also an increasing chance that the next generation A7R5 will use a newer sensor at around or close to 100mp. Currently, the 61mp A7R4 has only 10% more linear resolution than the new A1.
