Are you totally confused by all of the Full Frame vs Micro 4/3 debates - most making you dissatisfied with your choice of the small sensor? If you were to listen to and believe all of the discussion and hype about the superiority of Full Frame, you may even draw the conclusion that it a waste of time to even take pictures using anything with a smaller sensor.
Of course photographers like myself who take pictures with our micro four thirds gear every day and who have actually created prints from the resulting files and sold them for serious cash, are not swayed by such nonsense. Our decisions and choices aren’t made by viewing our files at 200% or more on a computer monitor and micro analyzing every pixel to find imperfections and weaknesses. And they aren’t made based on thousands of internet experts repeating the mantra of everyone else. We are getting what we need out of our gear for all of the reasons we chose the format.
But what is wonderful about this video - something that I think is a first - is the method used to compare a top end Canon 5d mark 4 with top pro lens, against a top end Olympus E-M1 mark 2 with top pro lens, at 1/2 the size, half the price and 1/4 the sensor size —— and compare based on one of the biggest justifications of full frame, that you need that larger sensor to attain top quality big prints. Spoiler alert : that concept appears to be a fabrication.
