Panasonic GX9 - FAIL (a cheapened GX8)
On 2018-02-14 03:39:42 +0000, RichA said:
I had the GX8. It's stabilization for non-stabilized Panasonic lenses was poor, way below that of my Olympus. But the EVF was superb like looking out a window. So they "updated" it with the GX9. What did they do? Dropped the price $200. Cut out weather resistance. The EVF isn't as good. The stabilization was upgraded to 5-axis. But what a let-down. They've essentially dropped the camera into the lower class tier. This was the only non-DSLR-styled body that was in a high tier as the Gx8. There were changes to video, but I'm not concerned about that. I still think that those tiny sensors makes mFT fraudulent... -- teleportation kills |

If you can't take a decent picture with one, the fault lies with you. No, I won't spare you 'cause you are dooomed! Besides the ugly look of mFT and FT photos because of the small format itself they just don't produce good files since the sensors are tooo small to gather photons properly compared to larger sensor with similar tech... :-ppp -- teleportation kills |

The tiny sensors takes the umph out of the captures. An EOS-M is as compact as a mFT cam and has almost twice the umph! Smartphones are the way to go on the go! :-ppp -- teleportation kills |

You can use mFT as much as you like but call it cost effective is a lie. I have a Zeiss Nettar that I experimented back in senior high wanted the portability of 35mm and ended up replacing my OM1 with a Leica CL and a Rollie 35 on the side... That said: The 6x6 Nettar negs was really good but it was not a pro grade cam. It's more to this than DOF. The larger systems gives you more mechanical stability in the gear and the sensors get less relative variation in pixel patterns with deeper wheals that gives you more continuity in the gain readout. Here's a cute DOF simulator though: https://dofsimulator.net/en/ -- teleportation kills |

Here's a cute DOF simulator though: https://dofsimulator.net/en/ -- teleportation kills FF is a bigger commitment in $$$ and size and in most cases, the amateur shooter simply doesn't need it or can even make profitable use of what it is capable of. Also, it depends on the situation and subject. I got better images using a m4/3rd and 400mm lens shooting wildlife than a guy with a 24mp FF and 400mm lens because I could fill much more of the frame with the subject. Meanwhile, compare the cost difference of the systems, $3000 versus $8000. FF will produce the best images, all things being equal, but it also demands a much greater level of dedication. Most FF potential in amateur hands is wasted because they don't put in the effort. APS-C is better and generally more affordable with higher IQ than mFT. For soo many reason mentioned in the above. FT/mFT have been obsolete since it's introduction and is fraud IMO. No one NEEDS an exchangeable lens camera, BTW... -- teleportation kills |
