Or maybe I’ll just keep posting that stuff on my own blog, or maybe join FM which seems to be massively more oriented to photography rather than a bunch of scientists having a pissing contest

I have time to slow down, so what is meant by "maximise"?
2&3 are not applicable to my camera, so no comment.
-
I think you meant to say your way of working. Because clearly my points are not camera specific. Some folk won’t or don’t need to understand this. And that’s fine. Crack on!
-
That's very pejorative. That's not what people are doing here.
-
Seems to me you are doing close to half of the pissing
-
You may need to step back a bit and realize how much of the innuendo that you perceive here comes from yourself.
Jim gave a number, not a statement that "you must get this 0.37 stops of lower photon noise, or your images are riddled with noise".
Options; not mandates.
-
Larger sensors have more DR only if you can give them more light.
-
They have more DR if you give them the same number of photons per unit area, but there are sometimes reasons why you can't -- or don't want to -- do that.
Practically, taking full advantage of larger sensors means longer exposures at equivalent apertures. Twas ever thus, even in the film days.

That makes sense to me

Red plastic isn't a problem, unless it's fluorescent. Red flowers are the problem.
[/quote]i think you buggered up your copy and pastes and qutoes. gets me all the time as well.
-
Yes. On the other hand …
When shooting handheld, in low light, the slowest possible shutter speed is fixed, regardless of sensor size. This means that with equivalent apertures and at lower light (handheld), contrary to conventional wisdom, larger sensors do not have an advantage. Correct? -
Correct, except, possibly the "contrary to conventional wisdom" part. All the photographers I know well don't buy into what you're calling conventional wisdom.

Bigger pixels win ,nothing more to say on the subject.
-
Sorry folks, had a Phil Askey moment - got fed up with the negativity, and put it all here. People can still follow that line of discussion if they want, but it stops it polluting Jim's thread.
-
They do not. Today, full well capacities are running around 3000 electrons per square micrometer regardless of pixel size.
-
Mainly comes from designing to 100 ISO and getting a fairly consistent QE.

I shot with m43 for 5 years professionally and now sony FF for 3 years. i could post many (1000 of in studio portraits , but not to offend M43 users
i will keep the outcome to my self.
BTW i won a debate on this same subject years ago with the sony a7s3 and s2 when no one picked up the s3 was a 48meg sensor 😁
