What lens would you need for a beast like this? Probably something
better than a 100 Euro kit lens, right?

Since it is a full field lens the pixels are still fairly large, in
fact not much smaller then the pixels on my 350D and 20D. My cheap
50mm lens if plently sharp enough for both of those camera so I would
think it would be for a 25MP FF camera, not that Sony will be nice
enough to produce a camera with a Canon lens mount.

My 300mm f/4 IS L lens is good enough that not only can I get sharp
image with the pixels size of my cameras but it even gives fairly
sharp image when using a 1.4x tele-converter. That lens on a FF
camera with 25MP would be a joy to use.

Forget that, how many hard drives would you need for a day's shooting?

Never mind, in 10 years it'll end up in a tiny camera with an 8mm plastic
lens anyway ;] 25 Mpixels will look great on an advert.

Since the sensor seems to be the same size as a 35mm frame, I would
assume that standard 35mm lenses should be adequate.

Only one, if it's large enough!

I was looking at the 6 frames/sec capability. With 3 bytes/pixel,
that's 450M Bytes/Sec sustained transfer rate and/or a Gigabyte of RAM
in-camera to buffer a burst of two seconds.

The fact that solid-state disks are becomming affordable may be part
of solution, but I don't know what kind of cable can be designed to
conect a camera to a laptop. Wireless?

Maybe I am wrong, but there is no substance to this press release.

They have only announced the development of the 25mp full frame sensor.
There is no physical product yet.

In article <fnqr78$rds$>, Al Dykes says...

More likely it's 12 or 14 bit/pixel, not 24 bit.

Then it could be a good relief to them, if their engineers/designers
ever bother to read ng, that a full-frame chip, intended for high-end
cameras, should have at least 14 bit d/a converter, not 12 bit as in
their press release. They can now go back and get it right. All new
high end cameras from Canon and Nikon have 14 bit.
