Did I accidentally click on the Sony forum? We're complaining about how big this camera with a 44x33 sensor yet smaller than a D810 is?

I have lots of issues with this whole tiny-camera movement, and I could go on and on for days, but I'll just leave it at this: I seriously wish they'd specify camera size as a ratio of cm2 per minute battery life instead of just straight dimensional values.


I have always been a strong proponent of smaller, lighter and easy to go camera systems, as I started a number of threads specific to this topic. This is a great strength of the A7 series combined with unique lenses and not to dismiss those who prefer a larger form factor. I have opted for the D750/D810 system over the A7rII for now as it is not always just about the camera body but a system that works for our needs at a given price level. When there were very few options for small/light FF systems Leica M9/M240/Monochrom served me well for 5 years.
