From: Alfred Molon on 26 May 2010 01:48 4/3 is an aspect ratio and it's the aspect ratio length/width, not the aspect ratio of the diagonal as has erroneously been claimed here. In fact a 4/3 sensor is 18 x 13.5 mm and 18/13.5 is exactly 4/3. -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site

Sony makes the Nikon sensors under contract but has no access to the technology for its own sensors, which are different. Don't be fooled by the fact Sony also offers a 24 MP sensor. It is not the Nikon sensor. It is not even a Nikon sensor that didn't reach the required standard. It is just not a Nikon sensor at all.

Olympus clearly stated it in their original publicity for the Four Thirds system. You seem to be in denial about this. Why is that? |
