Wonderful reply to what I think is a bit of a baiting post. I'd also add that there are plenty of situations where you can't move, either because of an obstacle, a crowd etc., where zooms are ...

Good to know what the 50-60 year-olds who sit around all day on DPReview want. Admittedly, these guys are the backbone of the industry in terms of $$ spent, so it's important near-term, but not...

Haha fair enough. The real issue I have with that hood is that it's fairly large, and yet isn't shaped to support the lens without tipping over. But yes, I like pretty lenses (and hoods) - I'm one ...

Very nice article! One question - you mentioned the shade on the 16-55 not being attractive, and I have to agree. Did you use it? I think I'd spend more time with my 16-55 on the camera if I ...

Haha I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to sound like a creep. OP's wife looks fantastic, especially for 55+.

Wow, much respect for you for lasting as long as you did with the changeable lenses given your surgeries. I think a lot of it is improvements in technology - not just the lenses, but especially ...

OK, so this is about you getting older and dealing with pain, not about a camera manufacturer. Neither do most people. I don't carry as much now at 40 as I did at 35. You're older and start to ...

1 & 2 are are Xtrans (softer, but more character), 3 & 4 are Bayer (look at the compass, slightly sharper)

@Nikoncanonfan I'll make sure to LOL at your comment again this weekend when I'm being paid $4000 to shoot a wedding with my casual snapper-format cameras.

You guys are so ridiculous. The % of camera buyers who give a damn about bayer vs. Xtrans is tiny. It's a nerds-only argument. They use Bayer arrays in these cameras because they're cheaper, that's...

Doesn't answer my question - what do you shoot?

1) Maybe it's not for you 2) I almost returned mine several times for the exact same reasons - packed it up and all - and then really started getting on with it. Now I own two.

Thank you for providing some answers! It sounds like a lot of the issue is around applications where high level of sharpness is critical, like landscapes, macro or maybe birds. My wedding images ...

I shoot weddings and love X-trans, have had no issues with it at all in LR. I've (maybe incorrectly) attributed some of Fuji's unique 'look' to X-trans, so would not want to see it go.  But many ...

Simply put, X-trans is for people, not plants.

I'm sorry I returned the camera 😂 But I think a lot of this difference was WB, as another poster said.

I don't think there's any denying that the Sony lineup in general, and a7iii in particular, are incredibly impressive in terms of technical innovation especially in terms of price (that's why I own...

The EVF on my a7iii is simply awful and the skin tones leave much to be desired. It feels like a budget camera with skimpy, cheap parts. The images are sharp and have nice DR but feel limp compared...

'wants to operate as compact and light as possible, is mostly stills-oriented but might want to occasionally record a high-quality video'

And pull out headphones so you can listen to what, the...

Well it's big, but t be fair it's by far the biggest model in the range. Others which use the same lenses are much smaller.
