>>4321366>something popularwith who? when /p/eople hate whats popular its "canon is a joke and sony is unusable!!111!". in fact, these popular thing haters are often fujifilm users who are about 30 seconds from "bitches dont know bout my SOVL" (read: shitty presets and larping while they adjust their fedora).
>elle and glamor coversi'm not convinced by 8x10s for old lady toilet paper. the cameras that have shot magazine covers range from fuji gfx100 to lumix gf1 - and sometimes small sensor PNS, because the photographers use whatever they have or usually use but the actual standards are not, well, it's an 8x10 for toilet paper
clearly most peoples issue is price and value. fuji has less photographic utility. you can do amazing things with modern FF HR cameras. it actually saves you a ton of money on lenses if you can accept a 20-26mp APS-C crop. fuji is so mushy you can not crop. cropping is a cope you say? yes, but with what? how about with not wanting a larger, more expensive lens for the occasional use of a tighter FOV? "traditional photography" is lens shopping, modern photography is telephoto cropping, it's why canon, nikon, and sony are killing every other brands prosumer segment with 45-61mp models. full frame does in fact cost as much as two cameras because it is two cameras. the apsc/ff debate ended, but gearfags weren't paying attention, they were too busy zooming in without thinking of what zooming in actually was. the end of the debate is: what if we put an aps-c in your ff?
also gearfags fucking despise this because 1: they are insecure about their skill and see cropping as hiding a lack of it 2: but they want to buy big zoomy zoomies :(
fuji costs as much as two cameras because... dodgy QC on the weather resistance front is totally worth having coarser exposure adjustments in a harder to reach spot?
is not being able to do as many things premium? well, it is for NERDS. literally. fuckers pay $300 for a pen that cant write on receipts. nerd brand.
