But does anyone still use APS-H.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant do any manufacturers still use a APS-H sensor?Love my Leica M8.2, and use it.
Well, you will notice the conspicuous absence of Canon from my list. Still, I did have the the Canon M with the 22 which could knock out some great images.Also an APS-H denier, it would seem.
It seems I have been using a Fuji x100s for almost 10 years. Today I ran across this photographer on the web: John Sanderson . It took me back 45 years to my days with a 4X5. I wish I could still do that.
No, but the Canon 1D Mark IV bodies are still my go-to for indoor low-light/outdoor night high school sports. The M1X can get pretty close to what I need, but the files have to be scrubbed in DxO DeepPrime to achieve the same noise level quality.Sorry, I wasn't clear.

Any smartphone shooters here?
Absolutely! I use one every day. I make phone calls, receive texts, it really is a marvel of technology. I also take photos with it, but only for record purposes on my projects. The rare personal photo comes down to it being the best camera I have with me at the moment.Any smartphone shooters here?
I'm 95+% phone. Have yet to post an ILC image here, actually. Nearly everything I do is publish to web at 1-2 MP so I've been pretty much good since sensors got to 8 MP. 16+ MP is nice for the occasional large print but I do those rarely and the μ43 ILC I have is borderline overkill. Also have a leftover APS-C body I haven't used in years. So, in answer to this thread's question, no, APS-C, (APS-H), 135, 645, and so on aren't worth it for me as μ43 exceeds the film era capabilities I had from a 4x5 view camera. If Nikon had kept on with the 1 system that might have been an interesting μ43 alternative.Any smartphone shooters here?
Given an objective of having every sensor size between 1/2.3 and 135, I'm pretty sure APS-H would qualify as larger than 1/2.3 and smaller than 135. Creative arguments this isn't actually the case could be entertaining, though.But does anyone still use APS-H.
As seen on internet. Format discussion.
Is Medium Format worth it? (Canon R6)
I'm asking:
Is Full Frame worth it? (APS-C)
Is APS-C Format worth it? (MFT)
Is MFT Format woth it? (1 inch)
Is 1 inch Format worth it? (compact sensor)
Is Smartphone Format worth it? (?)
What you think?
But this discussion is 'Is XX format worth it' as seen on internet forum discussions. I'm not sure APS-H sized sensors are really a topic of discussion these days. Yes there are discussions about cameras that have them like the ones @boojum and @Herman mentioned above. But I'm not sure I've seen any recent 'why did they get rid of APS-H' threads.......

Agree.The M8 and M8.2 are "old" cameras. But they still yield up honorable images. Discussion or no discussion they do the job. This sensor stuff in the camera business is like accessory and engine stuff used to be like in the auto business.
The iPhone 12 was a breakthrough for me in Image quality. My evidence is the huge increase in the number of images I have stored in the old icloud. Right now, the big phone feature being pushed is the camera. Apple, Google, Samsung, etc. can spend an ungodly amount of money on these tiny cameras. If the TG6 has IQ as good as my phone it wouldn’t be going back, and the phones are just going to keep getting better. I know (but don’t really want to acknowledge) that the best money I could spend on my photography would be to buy the iPhone 13 max with all the photo goodies.Any smartphone shooters here?
One of the very early images taken with my E-510 and kit lens. Lizzie and Rosa.Agree.
I am still blown away by photos I took 15 years ago with my 10 MPx E-510 and its two kit lenses. It had a JPEG DR of 7.3 stops! RAW was better, at around 10.5 stops.
I don't like using phones as cameras, but if I don't have anything else handy smartphone format has certainly proved worth using.As seen on internet. Format discussion.

Is Full Frame worth it? This is a question aimed some way above my pay grade, but I'd hazard to say yes, particularly for professionals and for amateurs who take their hobby very seriously and can tolerate the expense and weight of the bigger glass.I'm asking:

Yes. Definitely. On a recent trip to Cornwall (SW England), I took pictures in the same place and at roughly the same time with both my M43 kit and iPhone 12 Mini. In some instances I prefer the iPhone output. I’ve yet to compare images properly on a big screen but I’m surprised / delighted / impressed by the phone images.Hi hi Any smartphone shooters here?
