Photog makes more money with m4/3rds camera than his FF

wrote: So the conversation drifted to the basics of what mFT is about. Tiny sensors. Bigger sensors are better every thing else equal. Not if you need a smaller camera, for example, or a lighter camera covering the same FoV. But yes, if small depth of field is required, or working at the lowest light level. Bigger sensors and their associated lenses and cameras (meaning full-frame, for example) may be overkill for many requirements, and having a camera always with you many be more important than having the ultimate in equipment. Different folk, different needs. Larger sensor gives you better pictures than smaller ones. Portability is another parameter. yep |

It depends how you measure 'image quality'. For the same target image, depth of focus works against larger sensors. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

It depends how you measure 'image quality'. no it doesn't. For the same target image, depth of focus works against larger sensors. no it doesn't. that is a huge myth. it also doesn't matter. the question is does someone need the higher quality of a larger sensor. for some situations, the higher quality will matter. for others, it won't. someone shooting photos to be posted on facebook does *not* need a full frame slr. |

Then you have the FF'rs on Dpreview who "suddenly" think a medium format camera is no better than a FF. Seems that the "bigger" size stops being superior at the FF doorstep... seems that there are plenty of ignorant people on dpreview. no surprise there. |
