Greatest lie you were fed
I've come to a realization that the cameras have evolved to let's say 95% in terms of image quality, as far as sharpness, capacity to gather light, color accuracy etc. Now the next flagship with the best, most outstanding lens possible offers let's say - just as an illustrative example - 95.3%, whereas a "reasonable" consumer, or entry level camera offers something like 93%.
It doesn't matter.
Are you going to print your photos to about A1 size and look at it from a foot away? Best case scenario, you'll watch them on your 4K monitor, which has 8 megapixel resolution. Print the photos to 10x15 cm, the lab prints them at 300 ppi, you don't need 50 megapixels for that, you need 2!!!
Clearly, some lenses are sharper than others, but what is really visible, really crucial difference between sharp and clearly lacking in sharpness?
We were sold the story, that higher quality matters and the reviewers of gear are testing and showing us evidence that this lens is sharper than the other and you can clearly see it. And as long as you don't habitually print poster sized, it doesn't matter. Mix photos that were shot with full frame and a micro four thirds sensor, print them to 10x15, nobody will guess with accuracy which was shot with which camera and yet, we know the FF clearly has an advantage.
An old DSLR is more than sufficient for all your photographic needs and desires, but we bought their story, that we need the latest mirrorless, because it is so much more advanced. A Canon 5D is enough and yes it has it's quirks and it likes to hunt and sometimes misses focus a little - if that bothers you you can go for the 1D X, for a few dollars more, you pair that with some, now cheap, EF L glass and you're golden. No hobby photographer needs an R5 II. We just went mad because we were shown, that the new cameras were better, and they are, but the thing is we don't need that, but they have to make us to believe we need better cameras so that they can sell them to us.
All we need is a sufficiently good camera to go out and shoot and print.
Agree?
