Compare that to the modern day scenario........ I watched Edward from Photo-universe showing how he'd paired down his wedding shooting kit to a Olympus ML and couple of small lenses with a flash mounted on a right angle bar ..... whining how a DSLRs and their lenses get heavy after a few hours ....... ........ Of course I nearly cried my eyes out for him ....... fancy having to carry a DSLR for several hours as a job ........ the suffering !!..... ..... no chemicals, tanks, enlargers and dryers here ........ memory cards and ink cartridges only ........ Before Toni and others rush to say it is not typical of most wedding shooters ....... I know !! ...... they are not your atypical protogs ...... most have several bodies FF ML/ DSLR with a good range of lenses with video equipment/ lighting and all the bazzar ...... and so on! Having got that off my chest (something I've wanted do for some time) ........ I understand that those shooting for pleasure is a different story. However, I will say that if I was hiring a wedding photog he would not be shooting a M4/3rds camera! (or APSc for that matter) ........ IMHO a professional photog should be using professional gear .......... but then I still hold true some old fashioned standards ......

In your example, whether the photog has a Sony A7 or a Nikon D5 makes zero difference. The lens is way bigger than the body either way.

IQ ....... low light levels inside the church favours FF ....... there will be a percentage of portraits (DOF) ..... inside shooting without flash ...... I'm sure Fuji could do the job ....... but why? FF is better..... the size between say a Z7 and a Fuji body is not really significant ....... the M4/3rds system sweet though it is, just doesn't look pro ...... how would it look if one of the guests brought along his own D850 /Z7 with a range of lenses and gets better images? ...... this is nothing to do with DSLRs vs ML ...... quite the contrary, if I was shooting weddings I would use a FF ML body, for the AF coverage and the silent shutter, which I think is essential these days for weddings. RE: Another which mount will survive and which not article... - MatjazO - 06-02-2020 Well, the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, isn’t it? I mean each system has it’s strenghts. M43 has theorethically size, speed and IBIS performance on it’s side. All the rest being equal. 35mm has image quality, shallow depth of field and low light performance playing it’s tune. 2 stops difference, all being equal again. And maybe I missed something, like that it matters. APS-C is in between, with a bit of perception that rounding math puts APS-C a bit closer to 35 mm than actually is. Pick your poison, whichever works for each of us. All are great cameras. They all make way better photos than what was feasible a decade or two ago. I say it is great we have so much choice.

Indeed it is! ...... well considered answer. RE: Another which mount will survive and which not article... - Nickelodeon - 06-26-2020 Hi, I'm not sure about the future of different camera types. But I'm pretty sure that f you order an essay at expert-writers, you won't be disappointed RE: Another which mount will survive and which not article... - wim - 06-26-2020 (06-02-2020, 09:16 AM)toni-a Wrote: Folks keep in mind that small size and lightweight isn't always an advantage, I paid extra $$$ for an extension grip for my EOS RP that added nothing but extra size and weight but made it much better to handle, smaller and lighter isn't always good for ergonomicsThat seems very specific to the body to me, how the grip is placed, its size and shape, etc. I felt exactly the same about the RP as you did, so I am glad I got the R. The EOS R probably is the best, ergonomically, for me, of all cameras I ever owned, but I really enjoy the Oly Pen-F and the EM-1 II as well - they are different, but equally great to handle. Just different. The EM-1 does not have th eproblem I had with the RP, but them the grip is much deeper, and the Pen-F is a replacement for a compact camera for me, with the advantage of exchangeable lenses .
