There comes a point where the image quality is plenty good enough for a shooter\'s needs, and when that point is reached, other concerns like ergonomics and size play a much larger role in what will work better. If YOUR personal image quality standards aren\'t met by these smaller cameras, then don\'t use them. No problem. For many of us, they easily meet these standards, and so for me, the weight and size are far more important...to ME......
I think this pretty much sums it up.
At some point the IQ differences become small enough that other factors play a much larger role.
OM-D with 45 1.8 @ f/1.8....
6D with 100 f/2 @ f/2.2....
Now this is something that provides at least an attempt to be (real world) objective regarding the performance differences involved. A person can look at this and see the differences. Some will say, \"Yup, pretty darn close.\" Others will say, \"See, there\'s the difference.\" Individual preferences and expectations will of course vary, but at least it is fairly represented on both sides of the equation.
Presenting something like this and touting the advantages to using the smaller setup for the differences involved is worthy, notable and helpful information. It helps give people a reference for discernment. Just posting up one side of the equation and claiming \"blows the doors off\" superiority isn\'t exactly the same.
Imo, most Alt Gear users simply want fair representation so they can do their own assessment. I\'ve been an advocate of renting gear for a long time, but with the prolific amount of offerings involved, that can be impractical for a lot of members for a variety of reasons. Our postings here with our fellow Alt Gear members have historically been with the intent of helping them. That\'s part of the hallmark of being an FM member, aspiring to share and help our fellow members. Making a claim of superiority without supporting evidence doesn\'t do a whole lot for helping our fellow members in that regard.
Michael ... thanks for the comps. They are helpful and interesting to see the diff between the Canon and the OM setups.
