I'm a brainlet, why is m43 better / different that aps-c?

>>4309611
Because he's a gear collector and aps-c is just a touch too close to full frame, so he'd rather buy a much worse camera just to have more variety on his increasingly dusty photography shelf

To be frank, micro four thirds has no point unless you think shooting wildlife with a telephoto that functions and renders like someone stacked TCs on full frame sounds appealing, or intend to spend <$1k on your camera and multiple lenses.

>I'm selling my m43 lens collection
same, I decided to sell everything and get an used a7riii + probably a 40mm 2.5
After trying a lot of things I realized that I don't really care about the versatility and having several lenses to be able to shoot anything, I find it more stimulating to make do with just one prime and at this point I might as well go for the higher quality so I can masturbate over the details

Fuji and sony users just crush their blacks too much and it looks like day for night in an amateur horror film instead of night

It's definitely a pattern. It looks very artificial, kind of like AI. And sometimes I worry they either do it not because all the other people on their subreddit/youtube feed do, but because they are trying to make an anti-HDR statement (meanwhile portra has 4 more stops of dynamic range than any fuji camera, sheesh)

worked photo retail for about a decade, and from that perspective, sony had by far the best store support for my region (most sponsored events & workshops, rep visits, relatively few supply issues), greatest spif / commission paid of any of the brands, greatest employee purchase programs / discounts
a lot of employees switched over around the a7II/III generations and never looked back, and the incentives to push sony are just too good

>Rubber feet need a rigid base to keep the center of the bottom from touching the floor,
Can't this be solved by the bag just using tougher, but still flexible, material, or using longer rubber strips instead of individual feet? My 15 year old Canon bag has that, big chunky rubber 'runners' on the bottom, and it's really darn nice for setting down the bag on a wet or shitty area (think the floor of a car in winter time) without the bottom getting soaked through even without proper waterproofing.

is it wise to buy a small bag to put inside of a backpack that can fit it? i dont wanna walk around a city with a bag that screams "really pricey camera inside"

>>4309411
Why not? As long as the camera is safe.

>>4307996
Canon also seem to use those type 1 Sony sensors.

>>4307994
The sensor is a monochrome photon counter, nothing more, and sony builds them to client specs under sony's rules. It's often not the same sensors they use in their own cameras, which is why you dont see nikon using the a7riv or a7iv sensor ever and they've been using revisions of the d750 and d850 sensors instead.

CFA specs and signal processing, which actually matter for more than signal to noise ratio and readout speed, vary by brand, and its been theorized that sony draws up contracts affecting these that cripple their competition if they buy a sony sensor, ie:
>fuji can only have sony's next gen 40mp APS-C sensors if fuji does not make an APS-C camera with a bayer array, as the resolution increase from switching back to the superior CFA would BTFO the entire a6 line and sony would lose their entire APS-C customer base (and probably some FF users) to fuji.
>nikon receives semi-crippled sensors for fps/video simply because they are significantly better at making cameras and lenses than sony, resulting in nikon to struggle to support competitive sports/video features - hence nikon's recent purchase of RED - and therefore RED's contracts with non-sony sensor suppliers. sony probably straight up told them that they would never provide nikon with global shutter technology and that was it.
>LEGALLY POSSIBLE WITH LOTS OF NDAS: Sony can theoretically say "we will give you this sensor, but this list of features must not be supported until X amount of time has passed" in a contract, making them an unseen hand in controlling the entire camera market and maintaining their #2 position

Selling out to snoy was a mistake

>>4307996
None.
Panasonic sold off their fabs several years ago and Kodak did well before that.
Supposedly, Nikon sourced one or more sensors from TowerJazz for the D700/800 line.
Sigma had Foveon manufactured by Dongbu, but, reportedly, that ended as a result of them fucking up the full frame design.
Phase One might still get theirs from Dalsa. Though, I'm not sure who the supplier is after they transitioned to CMOS.
I also haven't heard who Leica gets their 30x45mm stuff from.

>>4309550
Canon's used Sony for many of their compacts.

It's less than that even.

because bitching about what happened to other brands in <2007 is how pentax fanboys cope with whats ongoing 2016-current

the fact is pentax is dead - killed. innovation halted. they dumped unfinished garbage on the market. their great leap forward was forcing noise reduction to game their DXO score and then... quit.

who's ready for the pentax K-1 II diary edition?

Xtrans has lower color resolution than bayer for the same reason bayer has lower color resolution than foveon. Because photographers universally test gear on black and white charts, they never noticed this. Fuji really loses color accuracy and detail on objects with a lot of red or blue and false color artifacts are common before additional post-prcoessing if you don't use the corpsifying SOOC jpeg engine and opt for FOSS software that gives you unnecessary amounts of control (or, unnecessary for normal cameras).

It was never that xtrans prevented moire, it moves it to a different frequency and below that it just gets lost.

To be a fujifag, and expect a photo to look detailed above IG resolutions, is to spend way too much time in an editor. I think they're also where the anti-pixel-peeping culture comes from because there's no logical reason to be against enjoying a larger photo. Not everything is about "the vibe".

There's probably a reason unrelated to processing that kept xtrans off GFX cameras. GFX cameras are big, they could shove two flagship smartphones and a huge battery in there.

Nikon made a nifty fifty sized 40mm f2
Sony made "film sized" 24, 35, 40, and 50s (but slower, f2.5-f2.8)
Sigma made a "film sized" 90mm f2.8

Small lenses are possible, but unwanted because most customers are pros or larpers that want f1.2 for the brides bokeh fetish

It was because these pieces of shit were either glued to a tripod or glued to a 24-70 and never used for real photography, just clothing ads and weddings. Hence leica stayed in business and fuji managed to capture a market selling otherwise defective garbage.

the early dslr era was bad enough for cameras like the fm3a to sell to a significant number of people

and it continues! look at canon and nikon - canon is still the worst (at least nikon is slightly less blobby now and has uh, 3 small lenses)

because they're all objectively terrible, and a 70-300 will beat them, and be desired by far more people

>>4309142
These things cost $1000+ so i wouldn't say they are undesirable. The main point is having long reach in a small package.. Regular telephotos from the era usually suck ass and has to be stopped down to f11 to not have an image that is 50% green and purple anyways.

You have 250mm in a lens that is no more than 6cm long, looks like a regular lens. The stealthy nature of it is also something to consider. Just think of how you could put it to use in streetfaggotry for instance where having a large lens attracts attention.

>>4309149
Mirror lenses are the opposite of stealthy since you have a big bright fucking mirror attached to the front of your camera. They are objectively dogshit lenses and there’s a reason they’ve basically disappeared from any manufacturer’s line up. They’re soft, shitty lenses with horrible bokeh.
