Most photographers don’t need better gear, they need better taste
This is the part I strongly disagree with. The difference is keeper rate and expectations. With a modern higher end mirrorless like Sony a7v Nikon Z6III or something, even a beginner can get like a 40% keeper rate, and a moderately skilled amateur can get into like 70% rate. But if you're shooting a

A7V released - 33MP partially stacked, 7.5 stop IBIS, new processor, $2900 USD - available for preorder
how many people actually use all the features of these do it all cameras This is largely an irrelevant question from the manufacturer's perspective. It's far cheaper to keep the number of hardware and software combinations low unless some specific feature significantly increases the production cost

How many of you will buy Samsung trifold?
Hard pass. If I wanted to blow $3.9K on a tech toy I didn't need, I'd rather get a sony A7v

Please Nikon make a Z7 III
Fwiw, I have the Z7 II and the Z8. I don't notice the difference really in real world. And when you use the DPReview DR tool and adjust for 6 stops of recovery, the Z8 images look just fine against the A7V, Z7 II and A7R V. https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison/fullscreen?attr144_0=nikon_z

What is the best wedding camera in 2026 if price doesn’t matter?
Not including a Sony option in this is ridiculous. An A7V, A1II, or A9III all could be argued are top of the list. I would argue that the A9III honestly is capable of things for weddings that no other body even is. With a true global shutter and crazy sync speeds it can do things you simply can't ac

For VIDEO, how does the s1ii stack up against the newly released sony A7 V? What about the r6 mk iii or the z6 iii?
I'm definitely not as knowledgeable as many others in this sub for video, but to answer some of your questions: Shutter angle: Yes, Lumix offers this setting, I believe since the S1H at minimum. IBIS: it's not even close in video. In photography, I'd say there is at most a small gap, but video is no

S1ii, S1Rii, Canon R5ii, Fuji X-E5 or Sony A7V for travel photography/videos in Japan
You picked all amazing flagship cameras. Every camera you listed is going to be able to take amazing photos. That being said, I would also consider the size of the bodies you picked out. With the exception of X-E5, they're all very large camera bodies. Please consider if you want to be carrying arou

Got the X2D II & 20-35E! Need Suggestions!!!
People are just frustrated because you made your life difficult by buying something without knowledge. If you bought say a Sony A7V you’d get effortless tracking of subjects and sharp photos. It’s like buying a Ferrari and asking people how to tow a boat. I’m sure it can but if you asked before hand

Can Sony Ever Feel Like Fuji?
I think most of this is purely the aesthetics of the camera. Fuji cameras & the retro looks are just sexier right now, esp the 100vi. There is nothing sexy about the a6700 or the a7v. The a7c series with the steel accent is the closest. I feel that if you can improve the aesthetics of the camera and

Would you trade your X100VI for a Leica Q2?
I had the Q3 and Q2. superior image quality and low light performance compared to the x100vi. however, it's definitely bulkier than the x100vi and it's why i sold it. I had to be very intentional about carrying it around and it wasn't the "impromptu point and shoot camera" i wanted it to be. I have
