Infighting?

I could have stated it better. If you're not seeing improvements at a level that actually matters with more expensive and much larger gear, then, IMO, you're using the best gear possible for the job. If you're getting complements on the results by pros, and they're comparing your work to everyone else in the same field, even those using much larger and more expensive cameras, then you probably are using the best gear. The best gear isn't necessarily the largest and most expensive. It's the one best suited to what you're doing.

That highlights the point where amateurs just see the latest, greatest and most expensive gear as the best.

Once any of them, if ever, transition into paid work, they quickly discover that what they thought was the best and what they wanted or could afford, were completely different concepts.

When you actually have to run a business, factors other than having the 'best' gear become far more important in order to survive.

Is it my perception or is it true that since the introduction of two hugely important flagship cameras, which promise to take the format up a level in both professional photography and professional videography, in this forum we have engaged in a much more fierce form of inter-brand fighting?

Surprisingly and different from previous experience, the FF people have not descended down on us in force at a time like this. Perhaps they observe that we are at each other's throats so are just sitting back with popcorn?

As usual, threads with the most fireworks also contain the most information and technical details and are thus most worth reading.

Two new flagships, sounds like a good thing to me. :) Now if I only had some fireworks.

I think both the EM-1MKII and GH-5 are KICK BUTT Pro Grade Cameras. I'd love to have BOTH in my kit, if my budget allowed for such.

No need for fighting as Panasonic and Olympus both do m4/3rds very well.

Disagree totally with that. As a stills shooter I have picked Panny over Oly in the past and there is every chance I could do it again.
