    With camera sensors being so good, the major differences will be autofocus capabilities.

    Imagine an open source autofocus algorithm that people can use their own photos locally so that it can focus on your shooting style.

      Does this sensor have AF pixels? Otherwise it’ll be hard to get good AF unless you put a traditional AF in? Contract based AF is always going go be terrible.

        Contrast based af can be kind of okay if it works. I have an old Sony camera with contrast af and it’s fast enough depending on the lens. Of course in dark or low contrast scenario’s it sucks and it can’t detect which way it has to focus, so it likes to hunt for focus if it can’t find any
