Maybe they are not looking to do just this one thing, but have opted for Fujifilms system due to its combination of size, video qualities, IBIS (these days) and so on. And then they find themselves...

Coffee is more important than photography. But your point regarding operator technique is well taken. I made the same journey, buying the original E-M5, and enjoying the benefits the universal ...

While you are quite deliberate in avoiding all recent larger sensor cameras, you do well to bring up QE. The quantum efficiency of todays full frame sensors, (and presumably the quite decent 20MP ...

@PentaxNick: Ack! Pfft! ;-)
One of the awesome aspects of that period of HP calculators is the mechanical feel (and shape) of their keys.

While the HP Prime is kinda there, the unabashedly retro...

Or kids. Which is a lot like shooting sports, only much more random. :-D

Not to mention that reading is SO MUCH FASTER than watching someone drone on and on in a video and hoping that they will eventually say something interesting. The guy has a pleasant projection, but ...

Honestly, while this looks like a nice sensor, as a 4/3 user I’d prefer them to use (a variant of) Sonys 47MP sensor. The main thing I would use the fast read-out of this one for is HR shots, but...

Seems reasonable. For what it's worth, I've made a similar journey with respect to sizes, and am currently in a phase where compactness is of really high value. The E-M5III is nice, provided you ...

I believe that points 1,2 and 3 boils down to point 4 for the manufacturers. Honestly though, I don’t believe point 1 is valid. Cameras don’t need a flagship phone SoC, they would be well served by ...

A tad too big for me. Nice range, particularly when complemented with something light in the portrait tele range. But my 12-40mmf2.8 already covers most of the range, and with an f-stop more DOF ...

Unfortunately, reducing resolution doesn't increase dynamic range. Fortunately, increasing resolution likewise doesn't decrease dynamic range! Which means that capturing more of the aerial image ...

What it also demonstrates is that even a modest lens like the12-32 is limited by sensor resolution, as evidenced by both the aliasing and that all lenses are very similar in the focal plane at ...

To the best of my ability to understand you, you’re actually agreeing with Messier, who is right by the way. If you are DOF limited, and I usually am, all formats perform the same in terms of noise.

I don’t know about others, but I’ve printed phone shots at 60x80cm.
It really is about the image and being there.
Like - really, really.

You won’t see significant improvements in base ISO shadow noise, ever, as it is dominated by shot noise. (Of course, you can just increase the amount of light captured by increasing exposure ...

Eric Fossum, who is arguably as knowledgeable as it gets on these matters, said that he expects 1GP+ sensors, and suggested that people who live in fear of high pixel counts get over it.

Economy of size is with 4/3 though, as you get four times as many sensors from a wafer and that is before you take into account either yields or losses in wafer utilisation from trying to make big ...

Is it just me, or is it a bad sign for an industry when news is about ”branding” or ”initiatives” and such, as opposed to actual product news?

I’ve seen such trends in stagnating markets before,...

I tend to lump it in with bokeh, insofar as it concerns out of focus areas.
Which for me personally just isn’t as important as the subject matter that IS in focus. If the viewers eye isn’t very...

This idea they have of tiers, that seems deeply ingrained in their culture. The E-M5 does not have to offer less in order to promote/justify the next step up. That is the attitude that creates ...
