A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Can 1” sensor compact cameras perform as good as APS-C cameras in low light if both of them have the same full frame equivalent aperture? (alien.top)

I’ve only used 1”, an FZ1000. I wanted a pocket camera, so I got the G9X, then a ZS100 came my way. Thats like my mini FZ.

Anyways, I’ve pulled great snaps from all of these, and have even printed some 20x16 canvases.

No, you’re not going to get full frame performance, but with care, some lovely photos.

If you don’t need the aperture, check out the ZS200. Similar to my 100, but more zoom & killer viewfinder. I appreciate the features, and def prefer viewfinder over tilt screen. Plus 25-250mm. Also, if I’m taking pocket camera candid shots at night, I’m using the phone, anyways.
