2. Panasonic's MFT sensor at least was produced by them (or by their old division). which is why i have their MFT but not their full frame.
this is just my personal preference , i tend to spend money on company that actually does most of the actual work.

And is it really the best way? Sony makes camera sensors for just about everyone. It's just a sensor chip. The rest is up to Panasonic. It's not like dashcams where they pretty much all use the same platform Sony used for point and shoot digital camera 20 years ago lol.
I mean, I don't hear anyone using this argument to buy a Samsung phone over an iPhone for the OLED screen, or for that matter buying a Samsung Odyssey instead of an Alienware screen (lol warranty). IDK.
I have the 50mm 1.8 and 20-60mm with the S5 IIX for $1880. All brand new. Dm if interested.
a lot of l-mount lenses use cheap stepper motors, which in some situations like sports don't move the lens elements fast enough.
this is a lot of camera for the money, it would be most suitable for landscapes and such although at only 24mp even that is questionable, depending on the final delivery format... when you are investing in a camera mounting system it's important to be sure that it fits what you'll want to do with it in the future.
$1679.99 with 20-60mm bundle AND then free 85mm. No tax with payboo or whatever their credit card is. I think this includes an additional $100 off in my price bc of edu discount
Yup. Just bought my second body. That price is insane with no tax and student discount. This CC got me in trouble last time but hopefully I can be more responsible this time .
