They should innovate cameras
They should make a mirrorless camera with an APS-C or FF sensor, and the lens, have it be a 24-50mm/1.0. The Nikon Coolpix A was a very interesting camera, if only it had a zoom lens and more pixels, then I’d have it, despite the fact
that it probably would’ve gone w/out 4k functions. It’s lens is more than twice as sharp as that on the RX100 series cameras. The lens on the
Panasonic Lumix LX10 also produces photos that are somewhat more detailed than the RX100 series cameras, especially at small apertures,
and I think that it’s
the best value for an advanced compact as of now. It was once about $100 more expensive than the RX100 II, at the same time that
both models were on sale. Now, it costs about one dollar less than the RX100 II. I enjoy the compactness of such cameras, though
I think that the recent mirrorless designs such as the Fuji XT100 and Sony A series might be more preferable. The Fuji XT100
strongly resembles the old Zenit rangefinder film cameras of past days. The A7 III is probably also one of my favorites, as it does
quite well in low light. Pixels are probably less important to me than other things, such as color depth, noise performance, a quick
lens, feature set, frames per second, and a large buffer. The sensor size is also not as important to me than these factors. My main
focus is nature photography, and astrophotography; a quick photo burst with a large buffer can be helpful in low light, at least when I’m in a hurry.
Larger color depth lets me reproduce nature’s colors better, leading to better color rendition. I think that Sony is a win for color rendition in that it has greater color depth, because personally, I think
I prefer color depth over color accuracy, or how colors are rendered right out of the camera. There are a
few bells and whistles that are missing from my current camera. The most important aspects of a camera,
in my opinion, are the ones which can’t be corrected by firmware and/or can’t be corrected by post
processing. Panasonic, Olympus, Fuji, Nikon, and Sony are among my most favorite brands. There’s also
Leica, except I won’t be getting one of those anytime soon. I’m disappointed that the lens on my camera,
the RX100 II, isn’t a true Zeiss lens as is labeled on the camera. SLR lenses I think are in general better than
compact camera lenses. I’m surprised at how sharp the 18-55 kit lens for Canons is; when stopped down,
it’s excellent at wide angle, and even w/out stopping down, the lens is excellent at it’s full zoom extent.
Supposedly, among the best lenses when it regards optical quality, are those used for micro 4/3rds systems.
