Have you read it properly or understood because the posts were about exposure and frame rate? I referenced that the camera I used has an APS-C sensor to explain why it could use such settings because a dash cam may not be able to due to the sensor size difference. It was not about putting an APS-C sensor in a dash cam, there was a tiny fantasifull reference to this so I don't know why you plucked only this bit out - well actually I do know. I can't be botherered replying to you properly because you are very clearly looking to antagonise people, or more specifically me and I don't have the same amount of time that you seem to have for big online arguments.
I have no particular interest in provoking any big online arguments as you put it, but merely questioned the point of indulging in the impractical and useless folly of comparing a 1/3 inch sensor, firmware exposure controlled, fixed aperture dash cam with a sophisticated camera that has a 24.3 megapixel APS-C sensor, a variable mechanical aperture, actual adjustable shutter speeds and other advanced features. It tells us nothing useful that applies to our actual experience attempting to read license plates with dash cams but does come across as a bit pretentious. Other than that I chose to ignore all the photographic misinformation and incorrect facts in your posts. I do have to say though that when I hear someone like you say, "I find a lot of similarities cross over between photography and dash cams.", it's hard not to laugh out loud. Both are cameras after all and work on the same basic photographic principles, so I am indeed happy to know you've discovered a relationship.
I'll say one thing, my prediction that you tend to respond with petulant remarks was spot on and no doubt we can now expect another round of peevishness from you in reply to this post but I have no interest in having any further engagement with you.
