Why not go Leica Q?

similar resolution sensor It's the same sensor. Some people value compact size a lot and the Sony rx1 series cameras are absolutely tiny. For a fixed lens camera the Q series are pretty big. You can build a smaller kit if you buy a sony A7CR and use a small prime (again, same sensor). I'm also guess

Suggestion about possible alternatives to the Olympus E-M1 III

Sure - buy a Sony A7C or A7CR. You'll pay out your nose for the camera and for lenses. FWIW I shoot everything from M43 (E-P7, OM-1.ii) to Medium Format (GFX100S) - in addition to FF and APS-C cameras. Larger sensors have an advantage - I'm not a fan of APS-C because it seems most manufactures inves

Looking to get into the Leica system.

All the q3 did for me was to sell it so I can buy a better leica m240. Q3 is just a sony a7cr with worse autofocus, increased startup time, fixed lens, same sensor and worse battery life. So glad I got rid of it. Even image becomes jittery when focusing. Also white balance and auto exposure are off.

Leica guy shoots a Nikon.

It depends on the camera. Recent models have thinner glass on the sensor so the performance is better. The A7CR is faring better than my older Sonys for sure . I haven’t compared the CR to my A1ii yet but given what I’ve researched it should be on par with the CR. Also overall it seems to be more pr

Eurasian Red Squirrels From Today

Thank you! It was a Sigma 135mm f1.4 on a Sony A7CR. The AF is magical on this combo. The first shot was probably a bit more than an APS-C crop (second one a bit less), but there's plenty of resolution on this sensor. Reddit is not doing it justice here. The depth of field can be a bit too extreme t

Genuinely impressed with my om5ii Vs a7iii photos.

Jestem posiadaczem równolegle dwóch systemów, oba rozbudowuję i modyfikuję od lat. Mam Sony Alpha (obecnie A7RM5 i A7CR) oraz M4/3 (obecnie OM-3, choć przez kilka lat głównie OM-1 MK1 i MK2). Nie potrafię się pogodzić z myślą o pozbyciu się jednego z tych systemów. Oba mają swoje dobre i złe strony

Is this what it means to own a Leica M? — Leica M11 + Thypoch Simera 50mm f/1.4

I definitely cut my teeth on photography with Fujifilm. I had a Canon M6 II to begin with in 2019, but got caught by the X100V hype in March 2020 and fell in love with it. I captured a lot of life with that camera, which convinced me to sell the Canon for the XH2S (my main side gig is actually filmm

My new camera system after 8 years of MFT?

I use a mix of things. I end up reaching for my a6300 and Sigma 18-50 a lot, it’s small and light, and 95% of the quality of my a7RV. On the A7RV I use the 20-70 F/4 when I want something light, and the Tamron 35-150 f/2-2.8 when I don’t care. I also use the Tamron 28-200 when I want a smaller do ev

Is it dumb to replace my S5II for a lighter travel camera?

The feather in Sonys cap for travel cameras is the A7Cr. With that much resolution you can set a fn button to switch to APSC mode effectively making each prime a dual focal length. With two compact primes 24mm 2.8G and 55mm 1.8 Zeiss you get a 24mm, 36mm, 55mm and 82.5. I'm with you on sonys being g
