You are insane. Better at every measurement = better at every measurement.
By that argument, crop sensor is a total waste of time, because it's beaten in almost every measurement by a bigger sensor.
No. Medium format is unwieldy and only better at low ISO.
Not the latest CMOS sensors. They score better in SNR than full-frame sensors, even at high ISO. Hence, they're better.
Better is better, so MF Sensors are better than full frame sensors. That was your argument, wan't it?
Oh, right, of course it makes no sense.
That is why no one uses them in Africa, for sports, etc.
Obviously.
That is only because you lack the cajones to sign your name to what you say.
Or that my professional and political positions do not allow me to post independently under my own name.
Again, you are insane.
You laud the 80D and yet it is the "new camera" that falls short of the elder D7200. (The graph clearly showed this.)
So, a 1.5x crop sensor beats a 1.6x crop sensor. Big deal.
The relevant point is that the 80D beats the old 70D by such a degree - due mostly to the on-sensor ADC - that, if the same thing were applied to the 1Dx2, it should beat the D5 by a significant amount.
For the record, the D7200 also beats the D5 at low ISO. I guess the D5 is crap, then?
Wow, you have a lot of time to waste, theorizing.
If you were important, in any respect, you wouldn't be wasting this kind of time doing so.
Blah, blah, blah, more ad hominem attacks.
"If this, if that," that is all you are doing, quite frankly, projecting.
Welcome to Science 101. Extrapolating from existing data and theory and coming up with a hypothesis that can later be tested is about the most basic thing you can do in science.
If you were my mother's brother, you'd be my uncle.
But you're not.
This simple fact is no (repeat NO) sensor rating body rates Canon sensors anywhere near the top.
Go back eight years and you could say the same about Nikon.
New technology changed that overnight.
Let the facts prove a change here, not your conjectures.
Then show me the numbers. On the 1Dx2, not on old cameras.
Can't? Then show me how you came to your conclusions via the data at hand, and let the data speak for itself.
The facts show the only thing the Canon 80D surpasses is the pale, sickly 70D, which itself flounders in the mid-bottom of the heap.
And the fact which you're conveniently ignoring is that you can't directly compare a Canon crop sensor to anything other than another Canon crop sensor, because nothing else shares the 1.6x format.
We disagree. I see no reason to digress infinitely, disagreeing ad nauseum.
You ignore all the evidence and speak in if-clauses.
I've presented the numbers and charts for everyone to see and explained my reasoning one step at a time.
You either haven't read them, or prefer to sling ad hominem attacks than to actually explain why they're wrong or explain how you came to your conclusion.
Can't argue against a man who never shuts up and is afraid to sign his name to what he says, either
I've put the arguments out there.
Or is it so important for you to have a person to attack that you are unable to counter an argument in a way that stands on its own.
Good luck getting published in any scientific journak.
Are you?
How can you, genius?
I never said I was, or that I could. But I never claimed to know what Nikon was planning either, beyond the base profit motive of all companies.
I think they already have achieved it.
Nikon has 5 of the top 10 FF cameras, specs-wise, to Canon's 1.
Nikon has 5 of the top 10 APS-C cameras, specs-wise, to Canon's 0.
Nikon has 4 of the top 10 prime lenses, while Canon, Zeiss, and Leica share only 2.
Nikon and Canon each share 4 of the top 10 zoom lenses, with Sigma owning 2.
Of 40 possible top positions, Nikon owns 18, Canon owns 9, with Leica, Zeiss, and Sigma each owning 2. (Pentax has 3 I think.)
If that isn't total domination, then we simply can't continue a conversation.
Change the date and change Nikon for Canon, Kodak, IBM, Lotus or WordPerfect and it would be equally true.
All of them lost dominance because their competitors either obtained a new technology to give them an advantage or corrected a major flaw that put them back on an even footing.
On-sensor ADC is such a technology. It was the thing that put Nikon in front in the first place. Now Canon also has it.
Repeat that in a mirror, and make sure you smile.
I could say that about three-quarters of your posts.
Do you ever shut up?
Not a fanboy, just a guy who dumped Canon after 8 years of waiting for them to produce something that made me want to buy.
The truth is, it is hard to argue with nameless people who never shut up, type on-and-on-and-on, because they have too much time on their hands, and have no accountability for what they say.
I feel my life is complete now, knowing that, thank you.

I don't like personal attacks in any argument, but you have taken it so far I see no reason not to respond in kind. You are the rudest, most condescending person I have dealt with all week, and seem incapable of carrying out a reasoned argument without attacking the other side's credentials, reputation or person. Your inability to address the question without attacking the person is nothing short of childish, and I sincerely hope, for the sake of those around you, that your real-life personality is nothing like that which is projected online.
And a good day to you, too.
