Agreed, entirely. And it’s why the expensive ‘cron won’t make a difference for most people.

And of course a fixed FL lens won’t effectively compete with a zoom until the sensor it images on has the pixel count that allows a 50%, 30%, 20% crop that gives the same FOV as a 50, 75, 120 mm zoom with nice detail.

If a camera with a fixed WA lens had a FF 200-MPx sensor and a digital zoom function, and an EVF, it would have the same capabilities as a big FF DSLR with a 24-120 zoom—even with a linear 1/5 crop, equivalent to a 5x zoom,
