I think they're betting this is more than a niche product -- with so many jobs going remote, lots of people are going to want a good webcam for Zoom, etc.

Most people are going to look at the comparison between the Opal and A7 and not see much of a difference, but the Opal is 7x cheaper.

However, A7 test is not fair. First generation A7 is more than 8 years old. Current $2K camera is A7C and A7III, and A7III is one of the most color-accurate cameras out there.

You dont even need A7, A6000 is what a lot of pr0 twitch streamers use and its pretty much studio quality.

Of course. A recent Fuji will provide the same quality too. I'm bringing up A7-III and A7C, because Opal directly uses A7 as a comparative target.
