p.5 #5 · p.5 #5 · Has anyone considered moving from Sony to m43 gear | |
M43 is not bad, I don't use it anymore only because of all its competitors.
I was among the first to jump into M43 system. And that was before Sony introduced the NEX-7 so I actually moved from M43 to Sony. I used to use M43 and a small prime as my 2nd body but it never replaced my Nikon. I later replace M43 with NEX-7 and that was when mirrorless can challenge my Nikon DSLR in IQ.
I don't like 4:3 format much so I often need to crop out those precious pixels.
16mp is not a lot once you have a 4K or higher monitor and Retina Mac. It's even less when you try to pan/zoom in 4K timelapse. 5K, 8K monitor are expensive now but if they follow the path of 4K monitors, they will become affordable in like 3 years.
Panasonic and Olympus are too protective to their higher priced stuffs that 20mp sensor are only for those "pro" expensive models, and those are bulky and for MY USE I don't see the point of using them.
If there is an inexpensive M43 with IBIS and 20mp, I might consider getting one, but I still prefer a A6500, or a Fuji X.
When RX100 (Mk1) introduced, its sensor was better than many M43 sensors. Although the lens wasn't better but RX100 is so compact and is an excellent serious P&S/backup/2nd body.
I rarely shoot long lens so the size advantage of using super-tele does not benefit me.
When I shoot astro landscape I'd appreciate lower noise of larger sensors.
I shoot a lot of Cityscape, and at evening/night I really want good DR (street lights, buildings, neon signs.. etc).
And I don't usually use my camera like a machine gun so more resolution doesn't hurt.
If I don't have any gear and someone gave me a M43, I'm certainly fine with using it. But at this moment M43 does not have products that I want at my desired price point. If GX85 is 20mp or more I might say something different (gotta say again, 16mp is a bit too few for someone with high-res monitor AND don't like 4:3 format)
Maybe I might get a small and cheap Yi M1 camera to play around (still have my old M43s and a few lens and adapters)... but I am unwilling to give up any system for M43.
