Fujifilm’s new X-H2 finally pushes its APS-C camera system to higher resolution

Micro Four Thirds is a 2x crop factor and I absolutely love my Panasonic GH-5. I primarily use it for 4k video which it excels at, as the smaller sensor means it can record 4k at high bitrate continuously without overheating. That said I still find it extremely rewarding for still photography. I'm happy with the results event when printed up 13"x19" on my Canon Pro-100 printer. Some photo samples I am proud of, limited to 4k resolution by twitter but 20 megapixels originally.

Ah, sorry, I meant in APS-C world, sorry for the confusion.

I love m43 systems, but their low light capabilities leave something to be desired. I shoot tango nights sometimes, and anything smaller than a FF system can’t keep up with the lack of photons, unfortunately.

Other than that, they’re brilliant little systems.

There is some stuff I shoot:

FWIW, low-light performance has significantly improved in the last couple of m43 generations. My G9 (with a sufficiently wide-open prime) gets shots that my G7 and GH4 never had a chance for, and while the GH6 isn't great as a stills camera I expect to see even better for the photo-focused cameras using that sensor.

I understand, and certainly support improvement in every size and family.

However, when you're trying to shoot movement with 1/60, f/2 @ ISO10K, nothing smaller than FF cuts it. It's almost pitch dark and flash is strictly prohibited.

An F/1 25 mm m43 lens would capture the same photons as an F/2 50 mm full frame one. Certainly an F/1 level m43 lens is a lot harder to find, I'm only aware of fixed focal length manual focus unstabilized ones...

However, the noise floor on these m43 sensors are nowhere near the full frame counterparts, unfortunately. Getting same resolution requires much smaller pixels, too.

I love more compact systems, but we can’t bend physics, for now.

Oooh gotcha yeah the "a bit too small for digital cameras" line threw me off. But that is wonderful photography thanks for sharing!

Smaller sensor are the best teleconverters one can get, aren't they? Nice pictures, really something to aim for!
