1920 or 2048, 3840 or 4096, 7680 or 8192For an engineer just 6.7%But the sensitivity’s are at least 100%
Funny: 1080 stays 1080 where the raster is 1125x2200

MTF at Nyquist
An imager is a 2-dimensional spatial sampler.The Nyquist frequency is half the sample frequency. It is the
frequency up to which one can reconstruct a sampled signalThe sample frequency can be expressed in lp/mm and is 1/pixel-pitch

The good news
SurpriseThe following combination of pixel-size and f/number results in the samesensitivity (SNR) and sharpness utilization:In 2/3” = 11mm– 2k pixels of 5um af f/11 – 4k pixels of 2.5um at f/5.6 – 8k pixels 1.25um at f/2.8.
But also in 44mm– 8k pixels of 5um af f/11 – 16k pixels of 2.5um at f/5.6

What can one do for sportsAccept more noise in black (readnoise) and in grey (shotnoise)Now the lens can be closed further
Lesser photons on the pixel, 6dB/f-stopSNR reduces 6dB/f-stopSharpness reduces. Diffraction cutt frequency halves per 2f-stop’s.
When then MTF=0 at NyquistSharpness can be enhanced
Increases noise again, noise reducer has to do moreWhen the diffraction cutt is below Nyquist no correction possible
