If you're a professional in the video space, you probably know that some cameras perform better in low-light scenarios than others. But have you ever wondered what it is, specifically, that makes one camera better than another in this regard? A common answer to this question is that higher-resolution sensors perform worse because they collect less light from the environment, but this explanation is wrong!

This is my big release for 2024, and it's been in the works for around 7 months. It's my longest, most expensive, and most time-consuming project to date. I hope you enjoy!
