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.

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

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

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

Excess megapixels?
It depends on what you are going to be shooting. It is disappointing how many people show up to this discussion, though, and pretend that cropping doesn't exist or isn't useful. I shoot a Sony a7r4, which is 61 MP. Having all those MP has been a huge benefit to me on many occasions. - sometimes, my

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

GR IV Monochrome pre-orders are now open ($2,199.95)
I think I will sell my Sony A7rIV and lenses for this. Since I don’t do paid jobs anymore, the Sony became a dust collector. Maybe I will wait for a Fuji X-Pro 4 but who knows when it will be released. Ricoh GR3 is my most used camera for over three years. Monochrome is a thing I that I’d like to di

Gear advice
Professional underwater photographer of 12+ years here. Bringing that Sony A7R4 underwater is not going to be cheap no matter what you do. You could try finding a used underwater housing for it, but even then - like buying a used car - I myself would never buy used until it gets serviced to replace

Canon 1DX series?
I had the 1DX (mark1) and honestly, shopting sports with that brick felt effortless. Most shots were good and usability wise it's the best camera i've had. I moved to Sony a7iii and a7riv which are nice but for sports they're both kinda meh. Sure they produce good images but aren't as effortless to
