A lot of people are getting hung up on the EF mount and apertures, but it's pretty obvious that they don't really expect people to use Canon EF lenses with this camera. In fact, they are explicitly...

Your M4/3 cameras and lenses won't go bad. And to be honest, M4/3 has the most complete mirrorless lens ecosystem in existence (maybe a tie with Sony thanks to Sigma's involvement in...
-
Sigma knows their market. People who know they need a 70-200/f2.8 are usually just going to go with the OEM that makes their camera. Sony, Canon, Nikon, and Panasonic all make excellent versions...

Honestly a 200mm/f4 Macro seems like it would be a more useful addition. I can't see a lot of use for a 50mm macro lens on FF. On M4/3 I use a 55mm or a 90mm, but often end up using a diopter on a...

Most superzooms (that cover larger sensors) have really bad distortion when they go wider than 28mm, and it's very different to get half-decent optical quality as a result when you're relying on...
-
It's 30% heavier and $100 more. I guess that's close-ish, but not really the same. But there enough other differences that it makes them quite a different choice. 14mm is substantially wider than...

At 345g and $800, can't imagine buying any other full-frame ultrawide zoom option. More companies need to go for slow apertures to reduce size, weight, and cost.

Honestly seems like a pretty superb piece of kit. Panasonic was always so good with the fundamentals, guess PDAF really was all they needed to reach parity with best-in-class.
-
@zakk9 Just because the lens will physically fit doesn't mean it's functionally compatible. When it comes to drone lenses, there are hard weight and center of gravity limitations because they need...
-
Well, not infinity, but close to it. Hyperfocal. It's a huge range when you're dealing with a 6mm lens. A drone camera is never going to be focusing on anything closer than a meter away from it,...
-
I mean, the 40mm/f2 here IS an all-plastic lens, so it seems to me that it's very much like the Series E lenses that attempted to ape the style of all-metal AI lenses but using lighter & less...
-
Yeah, I think it would be much more popular. It is a little bit funny to me that in order to make a modern camera look and feel like a vintage film SLR, it actually needs to be mirrorless and not...
-
It's very strange to me that the retro "Special Edition" look that they are copying is that of the very cheap plastic E-series Nikon lenses from the '80s. Not anything close to what people would...

A $1400 iPhone 14 Pro has an f/6.2 equivalent main lens, whereas this is f/4.4 equivalent. It's true that it's only 1 stop difference, but I really don't think that tells the whole...
-
You're not wrong, but on the flip side, the flange distance of 645 SLRs is very long, so the adapter is a big chunk of material. It ends up adding 2 inches to the length of any adapted lens. The...

I guess Zeiss doesn't make a 24mm Otus, but this makes the 28mm/f1.4 Otus seem like an absolute bargain for just $5000. Heck, for cine use you'd probably be looking at the $7400 Canon 24mm T1.5...
-
It's also important to separate the functionality from the engineering. It can be acknowledged that the square modular form factor has some advantages (as we've generally seen it implemented for...
-
From a UI perspective, I'm sure the 1:1 aspect ratio is an option that can be set in-camera. That's the joy of mirrorless - literally everything is WYSIWYG. There's zero functional difference...
-
Yeah, I was thinking they were generally video-focused as well, given that the nearly identical form-factor is also very convenient for use gimbals and/or follow-focus rigs, since it significantly...

You could always crop and shoot this square as a 33x33mm, still larger area than 24x36 FF.
