Simply put, it is the new ultra portable and compact Lumix S9 camera, with the very capable handy and compact and light $200 lumix 26 mm, F8 manual focusing only lens.
Reasons:
1. Baby Godzilla!
The first great upside is ultimately, I call it like the baby Godzilla; ultimate power force, dynamism, image quality image fidelity, image range, a full frame sensor has the most power of them all. The only thing that comes close is digital medium format, but for the most part digital medium format cameras are too big bulky cumbersome, to be used practically.
I think full frame is the best because it offers maybe 80 to 85% the image quality of medium format, but about 80 to 90% smaller. For example, I love the Pentax 645Z camera to death, but the great downside of using it all day for Street photography and beyond for a day is that it causes me extreme carpal tunnel pain in my right hand and wrist.
And also, considering that we’re all just looking at photos on our iPads, and phones… Truth be told you don’t really need that good image quality anymore anyways, even micro 4/3, ASPC is fine. Truth be told, iphone is probably fine as well, but my only critique about iphone is in today’s world in which getting an iphone or iphone pro about $1000-$1200, you could just pay a few more hundred bucks or about the same price to get a camera which is probably 100 times more capable, a Ricoh GR, Fujifilm x100, and now the new Lumix S9.,, a standalone digital camera is the way. And also the economics and the practicality of it is that at least for now, I could imagine using this little LUMIX S9 body for 5 to 10 years. Good luck using an iPhone for 5 to 10 years. Even if you get the best iPhone Pro right now, it might only be good for 2 to 3 years!
