Super fun video and useful, too! I went with a Nikon Z5 over the Sony A7C. Quite a bit cheaper but also bigger. I also prefer the image quality and color treatment over Sony. Thanks!

@barneybritton: Odd response from someone who works in the media. Does the media not teach us about others? Can't we draw conclusions from what we read, and what we experience in the media?

Bravo, enjoyed this very much and you made some very interesting points. A consistent theme I heard squeaking through was that how we interact with the kit is, in the end, perhaps as important as...

Yes, and one message that came through for me was simpler is better. Leica's have relatively few controls and are relatively simple to operate, and that seems to add to one's enjoyment. If even...

A personal set of ethics means no ethics at all.  There is no such thing as different moral principles.  Either there is universalism or not.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but ...

I’m a long-time Canon fan, but I made that exact comparison myself and also chose the Z5. The RP would have made more sense, but for me the Z5 offered more for similar money.  And it simply feels ...

I agree, and it’s disappointing.  Lots of ego, and a real libertarian, anti-authority tendency.  “You can’t tell me what to do” as opposed to, hey, let’s talk about being better photographers and ...

I’m saying something similar, yes.  Thanks.

I’m a fan of virtue ethics myself, it is simply not much help in situations such as this.  Yes, I’m talking deontology and consequentialism, but few understand those terms. Ethics is about acts, ...

This is a mess.  Ethics is about acts that are either intrinsically bad, like deception, or that have bad consequences.  In no ethical system are people given a veto of another’s acts that do not ...

DavitorR5 LOL, wow, a Canon M50MII vs cel phone is the same as an R5 vs a cel phone. Let's leave this conversation here....

DavitorR5, Well, this is a strange response. Just doesn't follow from the above. Perhaps you are reading things into my response that I simply didn't include? My comment was about entry level...

Karroly I'm not forgetting them at all. I'm just saying macro and wildlife are a tiny percentage of pictures taken. Family, friends and landscapes constitute an overwhelming percentage of photos...

Karroly, Yes, it is not the same, it is being generous. Probably far less than 1 in 100,00 images are printed greater than 13". The fact is that the M50II will outperform a cel phone in so few...

Karroly LOL, no need to waste your and my time. The M50II will be superior in low light, and that's about it. Printing less than 13" in size will show no appreciable difference. What percentage...

DavitorR5 The computer in my phone is superior to the one in this camera and delivers superior results in 99% of uses. Is that too difficult to understand?

No mention of weather-sealing (perhaps I missed it), so my guess is it is not. Another clear area my phone is superior.

This camera's competition is my phone. No camera in this class will...

LOL! Twitter?

I see all sorts of companies in many differing consumer industries struggling during COVID. I think we should cut folks some slack given the challenges of doing business in this environment.

Using deception is morally abhorrent. Profiting from it is even worse.
