Available June 17. Wow. Sure kept it under wraps. 42MP seems.... underwhelming. Such a very odd number. Sony has always been big with the multiples of 4, but there have been 14 and 18mp bodies. I don\'t see a 6mp bump as being huge. Need more info.
Yeah that is odd. When I read that I assumed it was something to do with enabling 4K APS-C readout without line skipping, but a quick napkin calculation reveals you only need 25 megapixels to do that...
The 7974px wide is basically double the pixels of 4k, it may have to do with multiples of 4k to get better downsampling when shooting FF.
