In good lightning is there a big difference in image quality between 1 inch and m43. I know in low light larger sensor is better

Love today's setup. Looks like a different color grade or something? Looks great! Love the vlog man!

[itsdanielantunes]

Medium format? Or you just aiming for the consumption market?

[iggytse]

It is not just the size. The dynamic range, low light performance and colour science also need to be taken into consideration. And I truely believe the progress that has been made in recent years is due to the sensor improvements in smart phones as instagram became popular.

I remember being blown away by the image quality from my Canon G1X bridge camera compared to an older Nikon D90 I had the opportunity to use at an event. I just couldn’t get the image to look good in camera in the D90 and switch back to the G1X.

Great video for us beginners out there! Are you thinking of making one about lenses as well? Cheers

[hekidanjo]

Always love your content. If you ever revisit, you might want to speak to the differences in depth of field as a result of sensor size.

Great content so simply and nicely explained 👌👌👌
