Re: Actually, I'm glad it's like this

As a software developer, I know SW development isn't free. Also, development of ASIC(s) to perform specific purpose using low-power isn't cheap either. There's just tons of time and material spent by development, which has to be paid, somehow.

But, I just though that more expensive cameras would perform better. Didn't think about it from feature development perspective,...

As others have both explicitly and implicitly stated, there is a lot more to performance and features than these charts can even begin to show.

No one has even mentioned the IBIS and sync IS, nor the video performance and features gain — those are huge differentiators for a large portion of the target market for the GH5.

AND, that makes me glad! It's great to know, that they are not artificially crippling lower-end models just by putting a few cents cheaper, but much worse, sensors in them.
