ThePhoBlographer claims APS-C and MFT make sense only as “luxury-style compact cameras”

Share

ThePhoBlographer once more states that Full Frame is the sweet spot in photography:

Real innovation isn’t coming to your APS-C or Micro Four Thirds camera. They will become sensors that shift into phones and luxury-style compact cameras. I fully embrace the latter.

While I do agree that luxury style cameras like the PEN-FII make a lot of sense I still think MFT value is in the compactness of lenses, video (where you often need the smaller size) and speed (smaller sensor allow for faster readout). And at the end sensor size really doesn’t matter. Nowadays all camera are technically excellent. Manufacturer should focus on the user experience, just see how many Fujifilm X100VI sold recently!

What do you think?

Panasonic’s next announcement is not for a new MFT camera, but for a compact “vlogger” L-mount model

Share

In May Panasonic will have a new product announcement event. And I am now certain we are not going to get any new MFT cameras. Instead we are getting something rather “unusual”: A very affordable and compact L-mount camera made for “content creators”. Which means this is a camera for Youtubers, TikTokkers, Instagrammers and that sort of target. Think Sony ZV-E1 but more affordable. Don’t know if Panasonic will ever consider making a similar camera for the MFT world. Personally I don’t care, I am not interested in this. But I know that this is a booming market and there is money to be made.

CONFIRMED: One more OM Digital camera announcement in 2024

Share

One trusted source confirmed there will be ONE more camera announcement from OM Digital. Likely to happen in second half od 2024. The source did not share details about what camera we can expect. I can see three possibilities:

  • OM-10V
  • OM-5II
  • Pen-FII

I see no chance this being a OM-M1x…

Let’s see if I can gather some more info the upcoming weeks.
