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.

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

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

DSLR or Mirrorless? What Camera Are You Using and Why?

I started shooting back in 1999, long before mirrorless was a thing. My roots were in Canon SLRs and later high-end DSLRs, and I shot pretty much everything over the years. Sports, landscapes, portraits, studio work. I was using serious bodies at the time like the Canon EOS 3 and later EOS-1D, 5D se

Winter walk through the marsh [Nikon z8]

Because, from what I gather, the Sony is supposed to be more resolving. When comparing the original and II versions of the Nikkor 24-70 2.8 (according to reviews), the II version is overall sharper than the original, while the original is supposedly not far behind the II - and in the center the orig

Why does my 75MP camera take lower quality photos than my 12MP iPhone camera?

cheap 75 mpx camera XDthe cheapest high res you could buy is probably a used sony a7R IV, which is a full frame 61mpx. with a good sharp lens, you can get very detailed photos with it. or maybe a used canon 5DS. But you also need sharp high quality glass to have the resolving power for high res sens

Choosing a camera for concerts

It depends on whether you want to move towards video at some point. For example, I use both the Sony A7IV and the Sony A7R IV. The R is usually overkill, but great if you only want to take photos from the front of house or if you want to print extremely large images. The A7 IV performs as well in ph

Sony A7CR + Lenses or Leica SL2-S + Lenses

I know this post is older but it just came up in my feed. Anyways, a little background; I didn't have an SL, but I did have a Leica M11, awesome camera, would still have it but I missed something about my Sony A7RIV that I had prior. So after 2 years with the Leica, I sold it and picked up my A7CR,

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

I know this is a Leica sub but I believe it is fundamentally wrong to dismiss the Sony A7Riv and v which use the same sensor as in the Leica M11 series, SL3 and Q3. None of those Leica series cameras produces good JPEGs straight out of the camera (SOOC). You have to edit RAW images to obtain optimal
