I like this article very much, thanks for it!
The comparison between cameras in price isvery difficult though.
Comparing the Nex 5 to the A6000/A6100 is not really fair, as the A6x00 cameras have...

I just looked at the prices for FF cameras at the moment:
Canon: R6 $2499 RP: $999, R $1500, 6D: $1399
Nikon: Z6II $1997, Z5 $1296, D780 $2297
Sony A7C: $1798, A7III $1998, A7IV $2499
I know this...

Lenses are absolutely NOTHING like cartridges or razor blades. People often buy a lens once and use it for their complete life as a photographer. Today the cameras are the cartridges! We buy every...

Now try to add cost of film, developing and printing to the price.
Cameras in 1988 were a lot simpler then they are now. I don't want to go back to the high film price and all.

Will Sony open up the lens breathing thing to 3rd party lenses? I don't know how the lens breathing data is stored. Is it stored inside the camera then the answer will be NO, probably not. As Sony...

@David: NO, Sony could do 2 things when they wanted to make a stills only camera:
1. Make it from scratch, use cheap components (as the sensor hasn't to be super fast, the processing can be slower,...

@namelessOne: FW costs money too. People designing it, programming it, testing it etc. etc.
And video is more then firmware too, you need the right processing power to convert raw video into...

Richmnondthefish: I do not tell that VR is 3D I COMPARE it with 3D and indeed I do think that this VR hype will blow over and only a handful of people will work with it (most professional). I do...

That was said about the 3D market too and see where we are now.
The VR market is gimmicky it is not to stay. You need awkward devices and get not that much more.
Or like in this video you can move...

I don't get it. Canon is putting engineers on making this very special lens, but there are major holes in their lens line-up.
And the result shown (the dance video) shows only how gimmicky the VR...

@Just Another Tog: <That R3 does look a complete beast of a photography tool, ergonomic and high performance.>
The R3 is a great camera as far as I can read from the feature list. But it is twice...

Dreamscape: The X-T4 is an excellent camera, it is $900 cheaper, so you can have some lenses and go taking pictures, where with this Pixii camera with the same money you have to look at the...

@badi, although I agree that this camera is not for me, there are many people out there using M-mount camers and even people putting M-mount lenses on modern digital cameras to get the "old time"...

Because the Canon R3 is a lot larger, lenses for the R3 are a lot larger and you can buy 2 of this cameras for one R3!
So I can understand what is the attraction of this camera! What I don't...

Short answer? NO, long answer? NO, NO, NO!
Why not? These are tiny sensors. A lens that is sharp enough to out resolve say 50mp is a very good lens, probably the best we can make at the moment. So...

I wait for the 1 TP camera, that will be a good one.

A camera is a lot more then a sensor alone. Does this phone has optical zoom? Does it handle well?
I had to use my Samsung smartphone as a camera for a day (forgot my A6000) and then I noticed why...

I love the "earth rotation" part of IBIS. Yes the earth does rotate, but you will not see it in normal landscape pictures, as the landscape around you rotates with the earth, so no need for IBIS...

But does this camera do raw video, I don't see that in the specifications.
And what is more, how many people want 4K30p raw video?
For most people the videos from their phones are good enough to...

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 IIIs, costs $600 with the kit zoom lens (at launch)
That tells me that the "cost reduction" isn't that big! Remember the Olympus does has an EVF and IBIS, I know a lesser...
