>>3975672My guy.... I'm trying to tell you that small sensors do not do low light performance. You keep saying you want to do astro, and you paradoxically keep coming back to these tiny shit sensors. If you had ever taken a photo, you would know how high ISO noise destroys photos, but since you have zero firsthand experience, I feel like I'm describing colors to a blind man. Have you never compared the difference between a phone camera photo at the pixel level and a DSLR photo? That's what I'm talking about.
>>3975680You have no idea the range of situations where shutter speed counts. It's not just "fast action." It is literally any low light situation with any subjects that could move. That is most low light situations where most people would want to take photos. Want to take a photo of your friends around the campfire and think that IS will save the exposure? Wrong. The trees and rocks will be clear, but your friends' faces will all be a blurry mess as they move their faces in the span of 1/2 second, or 2 seconds or however the small format camera meters it.
Want to take photos at an indoor party without blinding your friends with a flash? IS will not solve the lighting problem when your subjects are humans that are naturally moving around.
Want to get into bird photography and buy a telephoto lens? IS can only get you so far here. You need fast shutter speeds, even for stationary birds, since they tend to flit around, even small movements. The only way to get shutter speed high enough is to compensate with ISO, and these small sensors can. not. handle high ISO like larger sensors can.
And no, I'm sorry, but just because some retard on youtube claims to have "handheld" a 10 second exposure for astrophotography does not mean what you think it means. The camera was sitting on a table or the ground and he just aimed it. A human hand can not stay still enough to shoot a 10 second exposure. And in any case, larger sensors are always better.
