It's "good enough" most of the time. Even the Panasonic GX7 and wide-open pancake lens is staying in its case more often. Sold almost all the APS-C DSLR stuff. Sad? I don't think it's sad at all. As we age our lifestyle changes, sometimes because of physical necessity, and sometimes just personal preferences. it would be sad if we didn't grow older, or care about anything. Sad to discard something of higher quality for lesser. When I see the minor imperfections in the TZ90 images I can't help but be reminded of what I /could/ have achieved with earlier kit. But I'm enjoying my photography even more - not being lumbered with the bulkier and heavier kit. A friend bought (a few years back) a Nikon 800 and the 28-300 zoom (IIRC). I could hardly pick it up! Weight and bulk of my kit was one of my reasons for moving from Nikon DSLR to Fujifilm mirrorless. With the X-E3 I have a, small form factor, light weight, APS-C camera with great glass options. Most importantly I have sacrificed nothing when it comes to image quality, and I have a camera I can carry effortlessly all day if I have to. That said I also have the slightly larger X-T2 which is better balanced with the larger lenses, but remains lighter than the D300S + Battery grip, and similar lenses. To my way of thinking, since you like it, and it works for you, that's the equipment you should use. Unless there is something relevant that I am not aware of, neither of us will miss a meal because of your photography methodology. -- PeterN |
