>>4149636Sony ergonomics are amazing
The problem is not the camera's ergonomics. It's the massive glass. The need for sharp wide open f1 50mm primes. Modern lens designers need to fucking hang. Sharp wide open with a fast aperture means massive front element with a lot of glass behind it. That means a squat, heavy lens. That means the camera now feels like shit.
M43 is compact because a 50mm f1.8 is in fact, a 50mm f1.8 with the image circle cropped, not a 100mm f3.5, and these lenses are more consumer grade instead of being over-corrected. Not because of the sensor size really. You can also buy expensive cancer glass for crop. We had compact full frame (35mm) cameras for over 50 fucking years. They were the size of M43 today, entirely because lens designers focused on keeping consistent filter sizes and compact rather than mushroom shaped lenses.
The modern photographer is a faggot that wants every lens to be an over-corrected bokeh monster or a fast zoom with the widest range possible and then they say "my lens is too heavy for my camera, please make this 35mm hand camera the size of a pentax 67". Full frame is fine. Prosumer demands for sharpness they can't perceive, apertures no one good shoots at, and bokeh they never get any good use out of? Cancer.
Look at the sony 85mm f1.8. Cancer. Now look at the zeiss loxia 85mm. Would it be much larger with an AF drive? No, not really. Could we have that? Yes. Will the pro-soomers that buy the most cameras ever want that? Doubtful. Just look at M43 sales: barely alive in japan, dead stateside. Does it help that the noise performance is so much worse that people get more use out of phones? Nope.
