Chatting with AI about image sensors...

Last Update:- 17th March 2025

Should you consult AI for camera advice, or is social media a safe option? AI services like ChatGPT and xAI offer valuable insights, especially when responding to well-defined queries. For instance, AI will recommend the Fuji X-T5 if you mention crop sensor cameras with a resolution of 30MP or higher. It's, also, important to consider the various information layers I discussed in this article.

What are the advantages of asking AI? Services like ChatGPT access vast amounts of information and are designed to list quick and relevant answers. I received excellent information when asking ChatGPT or xAI to focus on proven technical data. For instance, AI will access and repeat social media info if you don't indicate a preference for OEM, manufacturer, and technically sound information.

You are welcome to ask xAI the same questions I asked ChatGPT (below)...

My next reply would have questioned the claim that some cameras capture more light. Yes, the image circle of full-frame sensors is larger than M43 sensors. Does that mean one captures more light? Both sensors have a full "field of view" (FOV) and are designed to saturate when fully exposed (receiving enough light). It's not a case of one capturing more light as suggested by social media advisors.

I stopped the conversation as I had to be somewhere else. I learned a few interesting lessons from this discussion, and have no doubt that both social media advisors and I will receive pleasing replies from xAI or ChatGPT. It's also clear that AI is trained to ask leading questions. It pays to stay focused, treat AI as a valuable source of information, and continue asking specific questions. Regarding quality info, I will ask AI to exclude social media sources promoting the oversimplified "size and capture" or "bigger is better" theory. This includes specific photography websites and forums.

AI discussions, learning, and summarizing conversations are time-consuming. My advice is, to focus on clear questions and specific subjects. For instance, try the guidelines below:

  • Prepare a short list of questions or the points you would like to cover,
  • Let's assume we like to ask AI for information about dynamic range,
  • For example, say you like to discuss cameras and Dynamic Range (DR),
  • AI typically replies with a brief definition for DR (if not ask AI),
  • Be ready with a few questions like:
    • What is the listed dynamic range of 5 or 6 cameras (list the cameras),
    • What is the typical DR of a sunny day, a night scene, and cloudy days,
    • Ask for cost-effective ways to control the scene and/or camera settings,
    • Ask AI when photographers should consider upgrading their cameras,
    • It helps to ask for an average percentage improvement you can expect,
    • Add more specific DR questions to have all your questions answered.
    • You can also save a link to AI conversations to continue the next day...
I trust this example will help you receive valuable AI feedback.
