>>4217923I see, you have a different idea of what photography is for. For you, photography is about being a faux-artist and whoring for instagram likes. So when you hear someone say "i dont have an opportunity to take a good photo with M43 in this light, the image quality is as shit as my phone if I raise the ISO high enough to bring the shutter speed up" at a sports game, you're like "yeah right, you could go take a dramatically lit photo of that bench over there! fucking gearfag poser! you just suck!" because even though that wouldn't be much of a memory it's still "art" for instagram. Or maybe you're a little more ballsy so you take a blurry picture of the crowd.
But to me that would be a waste of a shutter button press because I don't see that kind of photography as art
For me, art photography is done with lighting and subjects you directly control, and any camera is sufficient. It does not matter if it can sync with the flash or you have continuous lights. You could get great work done with a 1" sensor or even smaller so micro four thirds just seems assinine to me when it's the same price and size as technically better cameras for that like the fuj x-t3 or literally anything else even a cheap used up DSLR.
But not any camera is good enough for snapshitting
Snapshitting is where gear begins to matter.
You need the high ISOs for low light snapshitting action or it looks like shit.
You need the high framerates, you need the fast autofocus.
You need the fast lenses for impromptu portrait snapshits or the distracting impromptu background looks like shit.
You need big bucks or a meme four thirds for taking snapshits of birds or you can hardly see the bird.
All boring worthless documentarian photographs, snapshits, not art. Art doesn't even need a sensor or film, just tell the model to hold still while someone traces the image. There are compromises but generally not much gear is required.
But when you talk gear you necessarily talk snapshits.
