Yeah but the cameras are so fucking fat you can't fit them in a pocket
My micro four thirds camera (em5iii) is the hardest to justify owning. Since it's the same size as my a7cii, the only way it could make sense is with an incredibly small lens like the kit zoom (not the "pannycake" that thing cant af for shit and it randomly causes banding), but it doesn't fit in pants pockets or comfortably sit in a jacket pocket either so that's irrelevant. you know what makes it really, really irrelevant? a ricoh gr is more pocketable and the af is just as shit as any small m43.
If it gets dark it's totally fucking useless compared to the a7cii and if it's bright it's totally useless compared to the a7cii. in the "i'd shoot this at iso 800-3200" zone it's ok. the ibis is worse than the a7cii. the autofocus is way, way worse than the a7cii. the a7cii has a bunch of small primes to use m43/aps-c (50mm f2 air, 40mm f2.5, 90mm f2.8, 24mm f2.8). every m43 lens that's good is about as big (or smaller but still as inconveniencing) and slower even "equivalently".
so far i've only been able to make it stand out and make it useful by attaching the 12-60 f3.5-5.6 because sony has yet to release a 24-120 f7-11 thats this tiny, for people to use to turn their nice $2000 a7s into boomer bridge cameras. i guess one of the smaller, lower end 300mm zooms could be cool, and the 60mm macro is a missing option on ff (autofocusing slow macros for compactness, 1-handing w/ off camera flash), but i don't give a shit about birds or bugs. and honestly, if i did give a shit about birds and bugs, i would prefer micro four thirds to full frame and aps-c because i could shoot critters all day every day without noticing the camera any more than i notice an a7cii with a 90mm f2.8.
