Indeed. Some of my best shots were also on the micro-four-thirds sensor. "Best shots" don't equate to the best available technology. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 Hi Sohail, Take a look here Reasons NOT to buy the Q3???. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

OK, so you agree he's not ignorant of "hybrid lens design". The issue is extreme barrel distortion, which of course necessitates extreme digital correction.

jaapv Posted October 28, 2023 Share #83 Posted October 28, 2023 And? What exactly is the issue? The way it was designed offends against ethics? The lens-sensor-firmware of this camera is designed as an integral unit. How large do you suppose a 1.7 28 mm FF camera would be otherwise? Define extreme as opposed to acceptable ( to Lloyd and by extension you) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted October 28, 2023 Share #86 Posted October 28, 2023 The point is that this is all bollocks and clickbait by somebody who pretends to be a serious reviewer. 10 minutes ago, Sohail said: Your point? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a no-brainer for me. When I had a Q2, I always took it out with my SL2 (50 'SL Lux). I'm saving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMi Posted October 28, 2023 Share #91 Posted October 28, 2023 57 minutes ago, Sohail said: He tested the Q1 and claimed the lens "was barely adequate on the 24-megapixel" sensor. He abandoned tests for Q2. If it's the same lens on the Q3, what's to test? His and yours opinion disagrees with other owners who otherwise are used to the quality of SL-APO and MF lenses (Fuji and Hasselblad). Jim Kasson tested Q2M against GFX 100S and got better results with Q2M (although, center only, but it shows the resolution potential of the lens). You have the right to believe Lloyd, though I do not recommend it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photography is art…a whole lot more than hard specs on paper goes into making a good photographic tool. So you don’t like the Q3…great, buy something that YOU are happy with instead of trying to convince others they should also be unhappy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
