New to the hobby in general, but why do people pursue m43 when modern apscs mirrorless frames are just as small? Especially when things like a Sony Alpha/Canon r50 exist. You get an extra stop of light going from m43 to apsc right? Or am I misunderstanding that.
Not looking for a gearfaggotry/brandwar response, but actual reasons why people would want a m43 over an apsc(let alone FF for some of the prices).
Like I could maybe understand the ultra high density ones for wildlife specifically due to the crop factor, but those are pushing 2k+ like the OM1 but your pushing into high end, high density FF prices with that with SIGNIFICANTLY better light transmission and iso performance in general.
>>
>>4333875
I just think they are kind of neat, and for me they are just a second cameras for fun snapshits

And I can just throw my GX85 into a backpack and forget about it
>>
>>4333878
That's valid I guess, especially if it's not a main camera and more of a novelty to you.
>>
>>4333875
>You get an extra stop of light going from m43 to apsc right? Or am I misunderstanding that.
Not exactly, usually you get around a stop of cleaner noise at a given ISO, but whether that comes out in practice or matters is a question of debate.

You do not get a free stop of light by using a larger sensor.

>New to the hobby in general, but why do people pursue m43 when modern apscs mirrorless frames are just as small?
Sometimes it's not strictly about the size, but rather maybe you really like a certain lens that happens to be a crop lens, or maybe it's about the form factor of the camera. Or maybe you like the image character of one sensor's output over the other. Maybe a certain camera just fits your hand better. All modern cameras are going to look good, it's not like there is a massive difference between crop and full frame. I'd recommend now to newfriends that they start with a used FF, but that wouldn't have been true 5 years ago, with how much the prices have dropped on FF, unless you're doing something specific like sports or wildlife.

Personally I'm interested in the M5 because of a combination of it's small size and the fact it's kind of interesting as a dead mount camera, I know none of the lenses are great, but I'm curious. I already exclusively use variable aperture lenses, so the fact the lenses aren't "pro-tier" literally doesn't matter to me. It's a very cheap system and I think it has potential as a travel/ EDC setup.
>>4333865

>>
>>4333897
>>4333893
>>4333890
Not him but APS-C has one more stop of dynamic range. That's it. A larger sensor gathers more light. It's just a fact of photography.
>inb4 muh equivalenceeee!
Basically never matters IRL. There's a reason mft is fucking dead.
>>
>>4333873
>Any 5D
The 5D MkI and MkII were the 6Ds of their time.
Even the MkIII and MkIV didn't get an EOS-1 shutter mech.
>>
>>4333875
>You get an extra stop of light going from m43 to apsc right? Or am I misunderstanding that
In theory, you get the same amount of light per photosite, if you use equivalent lenses.
The problem is that full frame and even APS-C equivalent (m)4/3 lenses are uncommon or nonexistent.
The other issue is that the smaller the photosites are, the more light is lost (proportionally) between the microlenses and to the semiconductor traces around the periphery (unless it's BSI).
>>
>>4333887
>Personally I'm interested in the M5
Not before I get mine.
Don't drive up the prices for me.
>>
>>4333924
Dunno about the mk1 but the mk2 is rated for 250k actuations, while the 6D is rated to but rarely makes it to 100k. Thats the only important difference between them.
>>
>>4333926
What's the functional reason you'd get one over say an R50?
>>
>>4333929
I'm not referring to the life expectancy.
Their X-sync is less.

>rarely makes it to 100k
Do you mean that they're not used that much or does the 6D have reliability problems?
>>
>>4333931
Custom modes.
The M5 was also part of a mature system with all features fully implemented, unlike the RF mount in which only some cameras/lenses have a dedicated M/AF switch, multi-function shoe, hybrid AF support...
>>
>>4333934
>Do you mean that they're not used that much or does the 6D have reliability problems?
bit of both

>I'm not referring to the life expectancy.
I know, I just dont think thats as important as shutter durability
>>
>>4333936
>I just dont think thats as important as shutter durability
From what I can tell, shutters are rated mostly while used in burst mode.
Shooting in single shot, continuous low or short high speed bursts greatly extends their lifespan.
Conversely, cameras with framerates <6 don't see nearly the same benefit since they're so slow to begin with.

The only actual EF-M lens I ever used before selling my EOS M was the 22mm f/2.0... My other lenses were all adapted EF lenses which I still use regularly with my full frame body.

APS-C is crippled as fuck compared to FF, but the compact size makes it fun to use.
>>
>>4334001
>compact size
>with adapted full frame lenses
These two don't go together

>>4334003
The 32 mm (50mm FF equivalent) f/1.4 STM is an EF-M lens well suited for portraiture.

It's good glass, make no mistake.

Full frame sensor:
objectively better performance when considering just the sensor
requires 5x the investment in the body to get a competent kit of lenses
heavy and large af lenses, you don't like carrying it with you
because you never practice you suck at photography

m43 sensor:
literally inferior
but good enough
lenses are cheap af especially used and still high quality
carry your entire lens collection with you in your camera bag if you want
carry your camera with you everywhere because it's compact and small
because you're always practicing you get good at photography

Yeah, maybe a full frame camera generally performs better, but at the end of the day, does it matter? A modern m43 sesnor outperforms a lot of professional DSLR sensors. If they could do it then, why can't you now?

If you can't take good pictures on m43, you suck at photography. That goes for landscapes, portraiture, even night (understanding the limits of your system, and how to work around those limits, is a part of getting gud).

So, you just mad that m43 photographers take superior pictures because they actually take their cameras with them and practice a lot.
>>
>>4334769
some good points but I routinely take pictures at ISO 3200 and above where image quality of m43 sensors fall the fuck apart
I really truly wanted an m43 kit but when the noise performance of ISO 800 on m43 is worse than ISO 3200 on FF then well I just can't
speaking about bodies from about the same time period ofc
>>
>>4334769
>requires 5x the investment in the body to get a competent kit of lenses
Not really. FF lenses have gotten absurdly cheap, even native mirrorless glass.

>inb4 but i meant snoy gm-
Stop pixel peeping and I mean that literally. 200% view on a retina display/100% on a cheapo one is morally wrong except for checking focus. Also stop buying HR bodies. I know lensrentals gearfags might have told you some BS about "system MTF" but an awful lens with softness and crap rendering that doesn't resize out on a d850 actually does look super sharp on a d750.
>>
>>4334781
Like seriously have you kept up with photography at all, or are you just a snoy GM chasing gearfag who went broke and gave up?

M43 is generally the same fucking size as FF now. Just worse in every other way. If you were fine with m43 DOF stop down every FF lens twice, and enjoy your flawless optics.
>>
>>4334776
>the noise performance of ISO 800 on m43 is worse than ISO 3200 on FF
What?
Are you keeping your aperture the same?
Set your aperture to two stops faster than the FF. You'll end up with similar depth of field and an ISO two stops lower, and roughly the same amount of noise. ISO 800 should have a similar amount of noise, not worse than 3200 on Full Frame.
(And because m43 lenses don't need to be as large, they're cheaper and easier to manufacture so they tend to do a lot better at lower f-stops in IQ).

Also, AI denoise helps even the game a lot. Normally I hate anything mixing AI and photography, but this is one of the times it's actually based.

Also, there's a lot of technical reasons that m43 is going to perform better than you'd expect just based on basic theory. For example, the photosites on m43 sensors are tuned to be biased in favor of preserving dynamic range in lower light (at the cost of dynamic range at the higher end, which we know to ETTR anyway, right?) (this is why a lot of m43 cameras used to have native ISO starting at 200, the sensors are inherently more sensitive), or computational methods like Panasonic's Dynamic Range Boost.

With all of that, I fully do expect a Lumix G9ii at f/4 ISO 800 to outperform a Sony A7C at f/8 ISO 3200. The images would be equivalent except, for the reasons I've said above, the G9ii would probably have LESS noise. Because of Dynamic Range Boost, the g9ii would probably compare favorably in dynamic range, too.

G9ii will cost a small premium right now for getting into a system with cheaper, smaller, lighter weight lenses. I think that's pretty fair as it stands now. But the G9ii is still a pretty new camera and will continue to drop in price and the A7C is hitting the flat part of its deprecation curve -- in a year or two, the G9ii will be much more similar in price.

>M43 is generally the same fucking size as FF now. Just worse in every other way.
this is true for mirrorless cams in general. "small size" used to be a selling point, now look at it
>>
>>4334781
FF lenses have gotten cheaper, but so have M43 lenses. Panny Leica 12-60mm f/2.8-4 costs $800 new right now, or $500 used. A Sony 24-105mm f/4 (less range and higher minimum aperture) costs $1200 new, $700 used.
The Sony is like 33% larger and twice the weight.

I shoot full frame myself now, and I'm really impressed with how cheap, small, and lightweight the system has become, but for an equivalent lens of similar quality, m43 can still save hundreds of dollars per lens, will be smaller and lighter. Even when FF lenses get similar in size, they still typically weigh around twice as much.

>>4334783
The bodies are around the same size. The lenses are where the difference comes in. High-end M43 lenses tend to be around the size and weight of low-end FF lenses, or FF lenses designed to be compact and lightweight (which often comes with other compromises, such as reduced focal length range, and often reduced IQ). Then you have M43 lenses designed to be lightweight/compact. There IS NOT a full frame lens like Panasonic's 12-32mm. There just isn't.

It has some compromises, but if compact size is important to you, the Panasonic Lumix G100 with that 12-32mm lens is a wonderful everyday carry camera. Sometimes I miss that degree of compactness and light weight even with my Sigma fp w/ 45mm (one of the most compact FF setups on the market).

Oh yes
> the photosites on m43 sensors are tuned to be biased in favor of preserving dynamic range in lower light
>the sensor are more sensitive because base ISO is 200
That's the ISO label. M43 is known for labeling almost a stop slow in order to game reviews. There's no other rational reason
>Fully do expect a Lumix G9ii at f/4 ISO 800 to outperform a Sony A7C at f/8 ISO 3200
Given the exact same amount of light, it absolutely would not. The G9II would in fact be slightly underexposed because of ISO mislabeling.
>Because of DR boost
AKA stacking a 2 sot burst at 120fps, wow, if nothing moves and 1/60 is good you might be able to squeeze it down to APS-C performance

You people are absolute idiots

I bought m43 before actually thinking about the shit you said and I was heavily disappointed. Now I hate it, and I hate you.
>>
>>4334790
Full frame has no market for garbage like f5.6-8 and f8-11 zooms. Canon tried, no one buyed. It is too close to phones.
>>
>>4334794
You're really relying on mixing stuff up there instead of comparing ceteris paribus.
You sucked at photography so bad that you couldn't take good pictures on m43 so now you hate it and people who can take good pictures on it.

You rely on brainlessly clicking the shutter button and relying on the camera to do all the easy work for you, then cropping in post to get anything resembling a good composition, don't you?
In which case, sure, I can see why m43 doesn't work for you.

Correct, but my point is buying even an R7 - Canon's ***best*** APS-C is not much of a better alternative build wise either for the cut in IQ you're getting.

Don't get me wrong, I own an APS-C R series and love it, but fuck Canon and FF is objectively better even if you have to deal with plastic fantastic.
