Nikon, Tamron, Sigma only offer theoretical equivalency, as you said, wrt DoF etc.


That is where it stops, however, the theoretical bit that is.


I could carry two MFT bodies, one with a Oly 300 Pro, one with the PL 200 F/2.8, have the same reach, at better IQ because we are talking primes here, while carrying less weight than a single FF or even APS-C dslr with an equivalent (zoom)lens, and not requiring a tripod thanks to IBIS, making it an extremely convenient proposition for e.g. wildlife and birding (and many other types of shooting).


This is where MFT stands out, portability and maneuverability.


Kind regards, Wim

It's not about equivalence (i don't care for that and never think about it when using APS-C or full frame) but can MFT cameras do birds in flight as good as dedicated SLRs ?

All my previous cameras were not spectacular, 300D, 30D slightly better but not impressive, 5D was the same, 750D was an improvement but 7Dmkii is on another planet, so for me no going back.

Can good MFT cameras perform as good as 7Dmkii or Nikon D500 for birding ? You know for birding stabilisation is pointless or even harmful, and more DOF is a plus ☺
