Does Jim or anyone else have an idea of the full-well capacity of the 50MP 44x33 or the 100MP 52x40mm Sony sensors, or other recent Sony sensors?
My guess is that Sony will stay at 16-bit output in all future DMF sensors, but I wonder if the 3.8 micron pixel pitch (14.5 square micron photosites) of 100MP in 44x33mm sensor will benefit form more than 14-bits, even with neglibible read noise. How many bits are needed to report the exact count of every electron in a full well? (14 bits covers 16,384 electrons; 15 bits would cover up to 32,768, and so on.)
