Herr Barnack Posted May 7, 2020 Share #68 Posted May 7, 2020 @fototom - Thank you for a truly excellent review and for showing us some of you outstanding images! In reading your review and observations made by other SL2 users in this and other related threads, it is starting to seem to me that the SL2 system is somewhat blurring the line of distinction between 24x36mm and medium format digital photography. Would you say that this is a reasonable assessment? I'm wondering how others would respond to that thought, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted May 8, 2020 Share #69 Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) I see that this thread has woken up as an X1D to SL2 comparo. And the general question that this involves, the value of $10+K MF digital camera bodies compared with the SL2 and its spectacular lenses, seems quite interesting. But bodies come and go, lenses remain interesting. So my question is whether the XCD lenses are sufficiently interesting to support the cost, confusions, and extra clunkiness of working with the X1D bodies (now in their second generation) and the software. And my lockdown assignment has been to explore the two S lenses that are missing in the SL2's prime roadmap, the 100/2 and APO 120/2.5 macro. Another forum poster prepared for his lockdown by grabbing a fresh S3 body on his way to the bomb shelter. But I haven't gone there.

I think that with increasing lens / body firmware integration, lenses will come and go as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they used to say about the Canon 5D Mark 2! If all you want is "resolution," the 35mm sensors will always be a step ahead of medium format (and a step behind smartphones!), in terms of pixel density. In other words, the highest resolution 35mm sensors usually approach entry-level medium format resolution, and they "better" the previous generation of medium format. Medium format is still around, as are 35mm, APS-C/MFT, and smartphones. They all have their advantages, and they all have different "looks." It's like the difference between an orchestra and a quartet: they can both be great, but they don't sound the same. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
