For full frame DSLRs, for 4/3 (or APS-C) compacts and for cell-phone cameras. <br />I just find refreshing to see many expert photographers (American, many of them!) saying the 4/3 compacts are enjoyable and useful cameras despite their undeniable image quality limitations. Market is a lot driven by the affective relationship with the product and not just absolute technical qualities and feature lists.Frank M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03242846675623831998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587076776772814230.post-53850812911476944512010-01-16T02:58:11.063+00:002010-01-16T02:58:11.063+00:00very interesting post. You know a lot of is just ...very interesting post. You know a lot of is just a market to sell more product. Eventually it would seem they will not be able to make aps C size sensor any better. The Sony sensor is a real break through and so is the samsung one when it comes to color and detail i haven't seen a camera match what the k7 can do i term of pictures quality. But that is just what i like.<br />I mean it will eventually happen when they can't cram anymore megs in a small sensor they here comes full frame. a new market to make money. but when that happens they will need a new market to make money from.<br /> I cruise the dp forums sometimes and you hear people just griping about why don't they have this camera and that camera and well you know cameras are about taking pictures. In fact i just recent wrote a blog post about it where i captured a fun moment with my cell phone camera...see it here<br /><br />http://photolog365.blogspot.com/2010/01/blog-post_09.html<br /><br />But it really comes down to making new stuff to sell. Its why microsoft makes a new windows even though xp is still good. It why there is a new adobe photoshop and light room and so on. Its all about selling more and more. If any company built the perfect camera then all the companies would go broke.<br />I see it as two sides. Japan likes things small. America likes things big. There is a market for everyone. But for most i think small is the way to go. I took some photos with the G1 by leica what a nice camera. So solid all metal and nice and heavy. I work at disney world so i see what people buy. American strictly buy what they know Nikon and Canon asians buy point and shoots some dlsr but most small stuff like the canon elf. I think there is a market for everyone its just a matter a filling a need.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15790033934604396443noreply@blogger.com
