Fredkelder got a reaction from jlmphotos in Switching from Sony full frame to Fuji Aps-c
Hello! My opinions: -The question is "What differences can you see?" 99% of photographers won't see any difference in term of sharpness between APS-c and FF.
-Theorical differences are well known: a/ dof b/ low light situation. That's all.
-lens,PP and uses are as important as the camera itself.
-Don't worry about sharpness. Don't waste your time reading charts, graphics and so on. Learn how to shoot a great photo.
-99% photographies on the web are post-processed.
-Choosing a brand isn't a simple question of sharpness: menus (as you say),sustainability, roadmap, warranty, community, personal feeling...

These endless discussions are even more fun when you know that everyone deeply modifies his RAW files through the Photoshop mill.
So that at the end, no photographer is able to recognize which brand of camera was used by simply looking at the final picture.
In addition, the best of them are sponsored to extoll their "favorite" brand, while they did the same for another sponsor the year before.

A camera is a tool, and a software is a tool too.
You can use PP moderatly, or profusely. In most of the medias, 99% of the readers are only attracted by spectacular photographs, flashy renderings and perfect skins. Maybe people think the real life is boring and they want to dream. Or someone could call it "Aesthetics for the masses".
So, in the digital era, if the photographer wants to meet this expectation, a shot is only the first step of the digital production chain. In my case, I use RAW+Lightroom. Sometimes I play with effects, sometimes I deal with simplicity. Depends on my feeling. -

End of winter. Nice camera. Tomorrow, I will read the user's manual.

Thanks for your comments. I don't know the magnification. I will send an enquiry to Fuji France. By the way, at full aperture this lens is one of the sharpest 28mm (eq24x36) I've ever used. And bokeh is nice.

Lens for FF mirrorless is huge because the sensor is very near the lens. It's a technical issue. As a technical issue, the industry will find solutions (curve sensor or whatever).
For now, the mirrorless APS-c is the best compromise between image quality and size.
The future will be different from today, obviously.

Well... It's just my own opinion but the results look very artificial (like 90% of the shared production nowadays).
By the way, developing X-trans RAW with the last version of LR looks better than before and sharpness is enough for me.
And don't forget that "sharpness" is also a personal perception and a part of subjective aesthetic. Being satisfied yourself of your own job is the most important.

I am envious of those people who can lose so much time in vain discussions without losing money.
