I agree. IMO, also a serious shortcoming of the iPhone 13Pro.

"Well, 33mm isn't quite 36mm"

Very true. (Should have thought of this.) Or a larger sensor.

Would be interesting to have a 44x33mm sensor camera for, say, the M-lenses (which are designed for FF).

"Would you buy a camera with not an easily swappable battery? "

Because an integral battery could be larger, the camera could be simpler, and there would be fewer contact issues. I barely ever...

I wonder when we will have reached the stage of battery technology and power consumption when a camera battery does not need to be swappable and can be integrally integrated into the camera. (But...

Many of the most highly regarded photographers - for example, Ansel Adams, Bruce Barnbaum, and Christopher Burkett - are also known as to be exceptionally good darkroom printers. Looking again at ...

"not blessed with your particular cranial anatomy"

You surely meant the grey matter within the cranial anatomy.

The brainbox itself doesn't do any cogitation (thinking).
