Anybody else no longer wanting to use full frame or larger?

Not a skill issue in my opinion ....it's what it is ....looks keek .....one of the exciting things for me and lenses is the different characteristics they bring . It would depress me to have one zoom lens and then just artificially blur the background .....I've got portrait mode on my phone if I want that look LOL

Good old portrait mode on the iPhone constantly telling you to move further away so you can get a load of crap in the shot that you don't want :ROFLMAO:

Yes. Sort of. But an 85mm panorama is more subject focused than a 28mm frame (of the same subject size) with all the distractions around the edge of the frame from the wide angle view.

That image of the Escort with a wider focal length would include much more of the road at the left side, more empty space between the tree trunks, buildings to the sides would be in the shot, rubbish bins, parked cars etc etc

Ahh, I see you meant compared to a wide angle lens (y)
 
Love my full frame and the look it gives, but I do sometimes hate the weight and bulk of it. Going to get a Fuji thing at somepoint as a walk about to try and reinvigorate me

I looked into this recently, almost point an X-T5 but for the lenses I use there was no obvious weight saving, especially if you consider a FF body like the A7C II.

I like the thought of having an XproV that can sit in a pocket for when needed.

I like the idea of having a pocketable camera but I’ve never considered the Xpro a pocketable camera, even the X100 needs a large pocket.
 
For good files from a truly pocketable camera, the Sony RX100s are hard to beat.

IF portability (the need to fit in hand baggage and to be reasonably light...) wasn't a major consideration, I'd be sticking with the Nikon FF system but since it IS a consideration, the system that comes with me (most of the time) is the Fujis but for holiday use, an RX 10 is now the weapon of choice.

I had the RX100 m3 and Canon G7x but neither did it for me. Image quality wasn't as good as I was after and I found them fiddly to use. However, as you say if you want a truly pocketable camera the RX100's are hard to beat, unless you want a fixed lens such as the Ricoh.

Haha, fair point - it’s still smaller than my current set up! Pocketable might not have been the right phrase, but something that doesn’t require a bulky bag

IIRC, mine's a vi with (again, IIRC!) a 24 - 200mm equivalent zoom. IQ is good enough for me and prints very well up to A4. A little fiddly but the vi does at least turn on with the VF being raised and off when the VF's pushed back down (it always bugged me a little that the earlier models needed faffing to use the VF!), I rarely need to fiddle with settings, having set it up how I want. Spent years with a fixed focal length and now like the convenience of zooms!
