I have NO fear of ANY camera, no matter what sensor it has....well maybe the Holga. I may have a small fear of THAT camera...

lol

Wait-you can see me?

These kind of discussion are old like photography history. Bigger film/sensor, better quality. Nobody can change that. And like I say often, full frame is like m43 and APS-C the "poor man's" solution. Medium frame have the real magic.

…all I’m sayin’ is: don’t put unrealistic expectations on your gear and you will be quite satisfied with your images if you do your part…

one needs to understand the capabilities before buying into a system

that is realistic approach

for me, M has stagnated and I have skipped buying in to it

the release of the trio of sigma primes gave m a potential new life

but canon skipped the m5II which is a shame

Now, when the time comes that you need or want to produce work at a certain level-then find out what gear you need to meet that need and use it well.

research first and skip what will fall short

I didn’t buy a refurb M50 and EF-M 22mm f/2.0 expecting it to match the output of a 5D IV and my 135L….

But I have been impressed with the images it has taken and quite enjoyed using it…

Happy happy happy with the $700 I spent on it. Lol

my RP was $850 and is quite light to carry one handed with a wrist strap and goes well with the 35
