Are there landscape photographers here using m43?

OM isn't 'the poorest system' for landscapes. That's a narrow mindset of the uninformed (usually FF shooters who've never used M43 and go by specs). It's extremely difficult to tell the difference between 11 or 12 stops in a print (for example). The difference is more in the operator than the gear.

What is the real purpose of very high megapixel Hasselblad cameras?

I do art reproduction for my job. Hasselblads color rendition is untouched. The extra megapixels are a huge bonus but not as important as the color. My Sony a7r4 can give me incredible print results even with massive pieces, but the colors are no where near as good. I don’t use multi shot because it

Thoughts on the fx5? Are you guys gonna get one?

It’s all quality of life improvements at the end of the day. I would assume all of us here are trying to tell a good story. You can tell an amazing story with a camera that came out five or even 10 years ago. The FX5’s image doesn’t automatically tell a better story. The RAW recording doesn’t automa

I just took a major L, PLEASE HELP

Is this why the a7r4 does a full format, but the a74 does a quick format? Did Sony realize that a full format is not necessary and dangerous in these situations?

Low quality scans or am I just bad at this?

Depends what the problem is that you’re seeing, they look pretty good to me from here but that’s with reddit compression. If you’re pixel peeping then yeah, most scans aren’t going to be sharp enough; I’ve had the same roll scanned with 4 different scanners/cameras and the sharpest result I had was

Just what do I give up when I go to APS-C in low light?

Pro wedding shooter here. My weddings are on full frame Sony's (A7r4 and A9ii). My personal stuff I carry a Fuji x-e5. I've shot low light ceremonies where I cannot use flash on the Sony's and I've shot low light on the x-e5 such as Thanksgiving. With really bad light, both crop and full frame look

If dlux is a Panasonic then is M11 a Sony with no autofocus

I asked myself the same question. Eyesight issues forced me to stop shooting with my M9, after five decades shooting Leica I just cannot do the rangefinder thing any longer. I considered the M EV1 but figured the Sony A7Riv has the same sensor at a fraction of the price. So I am selling the M9 and f

I've been researching cameras & lenses for weeks and have narrowed my final choice down to Olympus or Sony, but I can't decide between them. What should I do?

Inevitability the conversation will come around to (be dominated by) the eternally boring M43 vs FF sensor. This is the wrong path to go down for you, IMO. There are as many advantages to M43 as there are for FF and ditto disadvantages. Firstly I'm going to quote your specific genres that you shoot

Camera recommendations (range between 1-2k ish for body + housing)

Consider looking at Sony A6*00 cameras instead. APSC sensor means a smaller everything, which is much easier to handle both on land(or boat) and underwater. I have an A6500 I use for wide angle video with Seafrogs and an A7RIV I use for close up. It's just so much bigger overall.

Shot a podcast today and the footage was wobbly.

I have the same issue with both my A7rIV - it happens randomly, but it’s been consistent since I owned it, thought it was IBIS but doesn’t matter if using analog or electric lenses, I still get the issue, it is so common at this point that I believe it is a fault, have never seen it happen on any ca
