I'm getting whiplash from some of the changing reactions to this camera in this thread
Were some folks under the impression that this tiny (for MF) camera would match the performance of a much larger lens/camera combination?
Why, yes. They were.
We’ve been hearing for weeks about the quality of the miniMF format and how that would make this camera produce much greater results than the FF and APS-C options.
It is impressive to put a miniMF sensor in such a small and light camera. But what advantages are you gaining from this if the optical quality isn’t so hot?
As to the whiplash, it’s a familiar pattern. I’ve watched some participants in this thread do that dance before — dissing anyone who was less than irrationally exuberant about a newly released camera, only to turn negative on it themselves a couple of months later.
If you listen to them, you might want to balance their point of view with those of some of the more cautious photographers, too… and wait a bit to see how things settle out.
There’s a use case for this camera, but very few people actually fit it.
