You missed the point. Joerg is saying "they don't sell well because they don't exist." I'm pointing out that they did not sell well when they did exist. A lack of lenses didn't kill M43, Sony A, ...

GM1, GM5, Samsung Mini, Nikon 1 V3 and J5 existed. They didn't sell enough to continue.

One person wants a tilt. Another wants a slightly larger screen. Another wants a slightly larger or better quality EVF. Another wants better battery life. Another wants IBIS. Another wants a ...

I fully agree that my comments are not based on research -- if I had any, I'd cite it. It's based on what has actually happened in the market. Tiny entry-level models sell well enough to continue, ...

I know because the GM and Nikon 1 series both failed, and there is no sign of any manufacturer releasing similar teeny tiny high-end ILCs. I'm also assuming that Panasonic, Olympus etc do hire ...

Yeah, that's not the problem. It's that there are not enough camera users who are willing to pay extra for a teeny tiny high-end ILC. You're in the same boat as, say, pretty much every film ...

Thanks for the comments and examples. FWIW, I don't think I missed much in my initial analysis. :-D

Please try not to freak out over a format comparison, kthx :-D I've shot a few concerts and non-musical events every now and then, using my M43 gear and, in some cases, LX100. I recently picked up ...

So, I'm curious... Have you noticed a particular print size, or range of print sizes, where either MP count, or other sensor qualities (like dynamic range, smoothness of tonal transitions) results ...

I don't think a forum thread can really answer that for you. The best move is to rent a high-end M43 body and high-quality lens, shoot with it for a weekend, try some multi-shot high resolution, ...

I don't expect to be surprised ;-) I routinely go to galleries and museums that have incredibly large high-quality photo prints. Some are almost certainly single-shot (Burtynsky, Sherman, Shore), ...

I didn't see anyone suggest the obvious yet in this thread: Rent / experiment and compare. Since you have Canon lenses already, I'd rent a Canon D5S R. If you actually think you can afford to buy ...

You might get the shutter to fire, but all you will do is generate more data without genuinely increasing image quality. High-res multishot requires precision down to a 1/2 pixel shift (isn't that ...

That, along with the technical difficulties facing handheld high-res, is why I am not buying into this rumor.

I think you'd better wait for an actual product to ship before counting on "handheld high resolution." Despite the dreams of gearheads and claims of marketers, the technical barriers to handheld ...

Not really, no. Rotating a camera is only problematic if you have a waist-level finder. If you can shoot at eye level, rotating is not a problem at all. For the overwhelming majority of users, who ...

That's a broadcast camera, that won't even be on sale for at least a year from now. 8k also means around 33mp, which almost certainly means "35mm sensor." I.e. it's going to be a long, long time ...

The M-D came out in 2016, and also went without an LCD, video or autofocus. I believe it was phased out earlier this year, presumably to make way for the (more expensive) M-10D. M-10D adds control ...

*cough* and

Hasselblad Arcbody might be up there Fuji GX680 is also a bit complex, for similar reasons -- modular, bellows, swings, tilts.... IIRC it also required a battery.
