I'm no mathematician either but afterall 4/3 is just year 8 maths. It's simply what it reads. 4 times one third. Therefore 4/3 is the mathematically correct result even though you could put it simpler by writing "1 1/3".
But either way I'm not quite sure if that is what Wayne meant. He definitly wasn't speaking of aspect ratios (Then 4:3 would have made perfect sense). He was talking of dimensions. There he was saying "... it's better than 2/3". But that statement applies to 3/4 as well as to 4/3. Last edited by Alexander Wrana; March 20th, 2007 at 09:19 AM. |

Well 3/3 is better than 2/3 also. So on that note... where's our damned 1" chips? :D

It is an telecentric mountable lens system specially for digital camera sensors. It is meant to be an alternative standard to DSLR. 4/3rds actually refers to ratio. Would be great to have standard options of 4/3rds, or bigger, for still cameras with HD video.
4/3rds should allow an sufficient depth of field. http://www.four-thirds.org/ Here it shows that size is also double: http://www.four-thirds.org/en/contact/faq.html#q2 http://www.wrotniak.net/photo/oly-e/sensor-size.html Last edited by Wayne Morellini; March 21st, 2007 at 07:01 AM. Reason: I was wrong, it refers to ratio, but the diagonal size is also double. |

Wayne, thanks for the explanation & the links.
Now it's more clear to me that it's ratio oriented rather than size. Bill |

Yep, more footage....
Even though I'm no longer in the running to get an Xacti HD2, I'm still keeping an eye out for future models, I do love there design and form factor. Anyways, here's a few more sites that have samples you can download:

Here is a sample I have. I love this camera even though I am very particular about the quality of cameras I buy.
