I just keep a backup for my main camera, every other camera has been sold off.  No filters in the digital and on-camera NR filter age,  I do have more lenses than I should, but then again even ...

Buy the 20mm f1.4 lens, very sharp and great bokeh, without the heavy weight of the f1.2 lenses.  Good lens that will stay on my camera most of the time.

I did that.  I didn't buy it when  it first came out and then the price went up to $2200-$2300 and stayed there.  I didn't buy until it went below $1999 again.  I bought the 20mm f1.4 lens which ...

Apologies.  They are reduced size.  I might want to make posters or calendars out of the full 40MP files.

That's true.  High res photos, whether done hand held or on a tripod, are soft right out of the camera and need to be sharpened in post processing.  I chose not to do too much post processing ...

Because I don't need a tripod to get high resolution photos.   The DR and the size of the file are the main reasons I do it. I suspect the colors are a little better too, but I'm not sure about that.

Nice, expanded DR in a dark setting.

Enjoying hand held hi res photography on the EM1iii while I wait for the OM.

How true.

Yes, exactly.  And if I want a large photo and file, I just take hand held high res.  The photos are as good or better than most FF.  I know it doesn't work for sports in the dark, but how many ...

From APS-C, nothing.  The sheer size of files in FF allows for more cropping, but that's about it.

Or hand held high resolution.

I'm talking about reviewers like this. https://petapixel.com/2022/12/22/fuji-x-t5-review-compromises-and-shortcomings-spoil-a-great-update/ or https://www.thephoblographer.com/2022/12/15/fujifilm-x ...

(lol) How true

Nice photo!   Then why are the reviewers complaining?

I take event photos and portraits for nonprofits and schools. Will I have to worry about too many photos being out of focus? Is it complicated to set the focus on say the XT5?

It is a great camera, but only you can tell if it meets your needs.   Take it out and push it to the limit, see how you like the results.

love the first cat photo.  The muted colors and expression on the cat's face are really nice.

I do portraits all the time and I cannot even imagine how it would make a difference. Spending time and $$ on filters and lighting as well as practicing my technique to improve would make a ...

Go for the Panaleica 25, 1.4 has an almost 3D quality about its IQ and it is light weight. The II version is weatherized and a little faster. For really low light situations, I use the Olympus 17 ...
