The next sensor size debate: ThePhoBlographer vs Daniel Cox

Share

ThePhoBlographer recently wrote:

When I talk about small sensor cameras, I’m talking about both APS-C and Micro Four Thirds. All the best features end up with full-frame cameras first, and the APS-C cameras aren’t given enough to make them really relevant.

Daniel Cox answer is:

I don’t think anyone can argue that Olympus is behind the curve regarding state-of-the-art features. Pro Capture in RAW, focus stacking, IP53 weather protection, Starry Sky AF, and the other tools I mentioned prove the fallacy in the comment, “Small Sensor Cameras Suck.” In fact, the unique features mentioned above and the size, price, and mobility of OM-1’s Industry Leading Technology keep me firmly committed to the MFT cause, particularly to OM System.

My personal take is that sensor size is only one of the many aspects of a camera. The Fuji X100VI is selling like hotcakes even if it’s APS-C and fixed lens only. I do believe the overall experience is what really matters.

Share

The new Yashica Micro Mirrorless camera is now available for reorder on Kickstarter (Click here). It’s a super small mirrorless interchangeable camera that uses a tiny Sony 12MP sensor and can take any other mirrorless lens via adapters.

Reminder: The German company Spinn now has over 1,000 backers for the new magnetic Swift-lock on Kickstarter (Click here). This is how it works:

Panasonic G9II review at Dpreview: “a significant upgrade in so many ways”

Share

Dpreview tested the Lumix G9II and concluded:

In conclusion, as someone who has shot with the original G9 for years, Panasonic’s G9 II is a significant upgrade in so many ways, from sensor to subject recognition to burst speeds. And it’s nice being able to carry a camera and lenses in a range of focal lengths in a relatively small bag. It’s not perfect: battery life is not great, the menus can be overwhelming, and it can be frustratingly slow to start up at times. This and AF tracking that’s only good, rather than great, are the only things that stop it gaining our Gold award. Overall the G9 II has proven to be a reliable stills camera with strong image quality and some useful computational modes, and can get you well on your way to being a videographer.
