An idea seems to have taken over in the world of digital photography that bigger is always better, that price is an indicator of quality or ‘professionalism’ or that more features and better specifications always indicate a better camera. More is always better, right?
This is particularly true for sensor formats, where a full frame camera will always be considered superior to an APS-C camera, and even the best Micro Four Thirds camera will always be considered inferior to both. Just because of sensor size. It’s worse still for smartphones, point and shoot compacts and action cameras, which have even smaller sensors, and which will be instantly dismissed by large swathes of the ‘serious’ photographic community – despite the fact they can do things that bigger cameras can’t.
