The rest of us know that a ff sensor is only a cropped H'blad one ;-) There is no such thing as a 'cropped' sensor, only different formats. Choose your format. 120 V 35 V minox is now 5cm sensors V 3 cm sensors V 1.5 cm sensors. As you move in format you have the same disadvantages/advantages you had with film. 120 great resolution, shallow DOF. Minox poor resolution great DOF if that's what you want etc Alastair > No no, the question is why someone rags on M8/M8.2 incessantly partly > because of its "cropped sensor" (of 1.3x) and then go ga ga over Ricoh > GRX's M module even though it's ... 1.5x cropped. > > Clearly even Leica agrees that something needs to sit between M9 and > X1, otherwise they wouldn't banter the yet to be released mirriorless > system already.
