Clearly responding to the vlogger market. It would be fair to say they (accidentally?) created a camera class for that market a couple/few years ago - but the latest cameras are responding to that market by making up in areas where those cameras were very good but not great for that. Now it looks like they're honing in. |

Now it looks like they're honing in. The only benefit I can see to a smaller camera body while maintaining the current trend toward hulking FF lenses is that when you carry such a camera, the lens weight will cause it to droop downward, making the camera being carried technically less prone to bump into objects... Bang! You NAILED their marketing analysis perfectly. As IF you stole the actual market strategy docs from Sony. |

The digital idea of "full frame" makes no sense in the physical size of film frames. So, I take it to mean that it retains the full _perspective_ of a lens rather than the cropped view that an APS-C sensor would normally yield. A related example is how some describe the focal length of their lens. A 100mm lens doesn't get the magnification of a longer focal length lens just because its field of view is cropped. -- best regards, Neil |

For now I am sticking to APS-C with my reasonable investment in pretty good glass. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I think like a stills photog. Not a videographer or vlogger. Digital still cameras evolving to do video is not much of a surprise. The unexpected twist is how vloggers have gravitated to high quality video. One vlogger who I used to watch on occasion, Casey Neistat, was one of the trend setters for this. He started with pretty crappy cameras and worked his way up. His talent is in story telling and editing. Also quite the rags-to-riches story overall - his net worth is somewhere north of $10M - all based on vlogging and offshoots. One of his better efforts - NYC blizzard in 2016. (1080p ish) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRv7G7WpOoU Another, really well done video (not Neistat): Also 1080p ish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meYQUB-RLLc Then 4K ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCPdIvXo2rU In the end, it takes a very compelling still image to hold someone's attention, whereas a well done video (edit! edit! edit!) can really grab someone's attention. |
