It was done in that video. There are no ifs. For that particular creator(s) vision it did the job and in impressive one at that.
Yes, nonsense from the ILC crowd because they can't deal with the fact that this tech will be surpassed in the near future by 'phone' that fits in your back pocket and cost a fraction of the cost.
People don't care about the fact that a certain tech
might* be surpassed in the future, it's more the annoyance that because one person doesn't care about the compromises, they belittle everyone who does, and it gets rather tiring after a while.
*I mean it's clear something that can fit in your back pocket will never ergonomically match a full size camera, so it's largely irrelevant, but w/e
Actually it’s been found that one of the main reasons why smartphone are now the most popular type of camera is their ergonomics.
They are specifically designed to be an extension of your arm. They are also more or less a virtual picture frame and your arm acts as a full range of motion monopod as you can proficiently take photos one handed or by using accurate voice control.
On the other hand DSLRs are horribly inefficient when it comes to their ergonomics and they are only that form factor because you have to place massive barrels of heavy metal and glass on one end of them and because of that flappy mirror.
The only people who find them ergonomically correct are the ones who have spent years getting used to how clunky they are and now find anything lighter than a kilo to be awkward.
"it's been found"? By whom exactly has it been found?
The whole extension of your arm monopod BS applies to literally any compact camera, except compact cameras all at least have two phase shutter buttons that actually work, rather than some soft laggy piece of plastic that might have a noticeable 2-stage action if you're lucky.
Compact cameras aren't as light and as comfortable to hold in your hand as smartphones. The controls also require awkward finger placements that are not as seamless as using a touchscreen.
DSLRs have direct control of virtually every parameter you could want to change. I mean sure, most smartphone photographers probably don't know half of what the parameters do so don't see it as a benefit, but that doesn't even remotely translate to them being better ergonomically.
Smartphones now provide the same amount of controls. You can adjust exposure, iso,
If smartphone ergonomics are so wonderful then why aren't up and coming self taught professionals gravitating to touchscreen focused cameras, which is about the closest you can get with a decent sensor.
This statement shows that you can't get your mind away from the archaic. Smartphones are creating the most skilled generation of photographers in the history of the art. They say that practice makes perfect and competition breeds creativity right? Well, the smartphone generation has produced more original compositions and have taken more pictures than all of the generations of photographers before them combined. This is because smartphone cameras are so intuitive, mostly because of the touchscreen interface, and because they have turned photos into a dominant form of social communication. Some will argue that this is a bad thing for young people but for photography it has been the biggest game-changer since digital.
Your statement also leads me to believe that you've never used a smartphone or the touchscreen on a camera because you'd know that they are night and day when it comes to intuitiveness. The best touchscreens on even the latest cameras are about as accurate and laggy as smartphone touchscreens were 5 years ago and thats android phones.
I've said before that the reason why cameras are dying in popularity is because they have failed to incorporate accurate touchscreen control, become easily portable, and have the ability to post process and easily share photos.
ILCs are suffering the same fate as Harley Davidson. They only focused on a specific demographic of people for too long and didn't recognize the changing tide in time. Mirrorless was their last ditch effort in saving the ship but unfortunately, its mostly just a marketing gimmick and it still doesn't rectify the main issue with ILCs which is the laws of physics when it comes to lenses. Smartphones are resolving this with computational photography and lens arrays while also giving you all of the benefits noted above.
Don't worry though. This is not to say that ILCs will become extinct. Like any hobby, you'll have your traditionalists who will still lug all of that gear out into the frosty wilderness, painstakingly erect their titanium tripod, spend several peaceful moments carefully blowing and brushing their sensor, polishing their 12" long shiny shaft of metal and glass and then sitting back and meditating while sipping on a hot cup of joe and waiting for a horned owl to peak out from a tree 600 meters away.
Then they will go back home, boot up their NASA supercomputer with the 50" screen, insert their 1000 mb/s 12K SUPERDUPERSSD card, wait 10 minutes for LR to open, and then zoom in to see the sub-atomic particles at work in the pixel located in the upper-most right corner of the photo. After checking all 350,000,000 pixels, they will eject the SD card, label it Horned Owl # 157 and place it neatly behind SD card Horned Owl # 156 in their hermetically sealed storage case.
