blue, 04 Jun 2022Sony blows Leica and Hasselblad away? Oh come on, stop bein... moreTaking the $^@*&!@ shot. Leicas are not modal. They don't care whether the image is in focus, whether the exposure is set correctly, whether the flash is charged, or even whether you have a lens attached. You might miss your mark with focus, but you don't miss the moment. Autofocus cameras tend to have a lot of things that stop the picture or slow it down.
Shooting full frame with compact lenses. Leica lenses are tiny compared to equivalent APS-C and MFT lenses. Leicas do not need huge retrofocus lenses because they have offset microlenses on the sensor that compensate for ray angles coming off symmetrical wide-angle lenses. Look up the Kolari thin glass modification for an explanation of why.
Fast, accurate manual focusing. Manual focusing on mirrorless cameras is a joke. Magnification is a slow method. Focus peaking like on the Alphas can be indeterminate or vague. Fuji's split-image obscures the frame. Perhaps worse is that the focus-by-wire nature of most mirrorless lenses is ponderous and imprecise. Rangefinder lenses have very short travel (typically) and have a tab whose position is indicative of focused distance.
Legacy lenses. There are hundreds of different lenses for Leica rangefinders made between the 1920s and today (made by Leica, Canon, Nikon, Zeiss, Konica, Ricoh, Pentax, Kobalux, Komura, and Voigtlander). All of them fit on Leica Ms and have the hardware to focus using the prism rangefinder. In fact, you can also fit (via an adapter) old Contax, Nikon, and Soviet-mount rangefinder lenses and still accurately focus using the rangefinder.
TTL flash. This is especially an issue for Fujifilm, which four years into its system still has no HSS, no pro-level flash unit (the EF-42 is a toy), and no competent TTL flash system. And it takes a Canon pin pattern but doesn't use Canon protocols. Leicas can take some very powerful Metz-derived flashes like the SF-58 and SF-64, exhibit very little visible preflash, and deliver synch all the way up to 1/4000 sec with newer cameras. If you don't want to drop $700 on a flash, Leicas share the basic Nikon pinout, so you can put a $20 automatic flash on your camera and still have the camera know when the flash is ready.
Leica and haselblad are garbage,

blue, 04 Jun 2022Sony blows Leica and Hasselblad away? Oh come on, stop bein... moreVery few lenses are available for Leica. I see 259 lenses (doubtless many doubles with different finish, for example) for Sony E, and 112 for all rangefinder cameras, including many different mounts.
The longest focal length I can find for Leica is 135 mm. The longest for Sony E is 600 mm.
Leica has almost no automatism: no autofocus, for example.
Leica has no video functionality.
Leica is horrendously expensive.
Leica hasselblad are overrated overpriced overhyped just like apple products

I like Sony headphones, but when it comes to Bluetooth speakers I prefer JBL. I don't know why, but they just sound better. Even something like JBL Go 3, which is a tiny speaker when you first look at it, has incredible bass and sound for its size. And it cost 40EUR.
I don't know, maybe this new X-series from Sony will have better sound than the current Sony speakers. But, Sony prices are always a little higher than JBL ones. Unless you can find them at some nice discounts.

Nice to see Sony making "non-EXTRA BASS" portable speakers again.
The XE200 in particular looks very attractive to me.
As always Sony kills it in the design department.
I wish they had a 3.5mm jack as always but what can you do...

JBL is one of top 5 best brands and compared to Sony is not that moeyhungry.
Sony is all about money.
You can call it a quality product and it definitely is but like with everything Sony made the difference between manufacturing cost and final selling price to a customer will be 300-500%.
Compared to that JBL makes litterary same thing for a 100% increase over manufacturing cost.
We all known Sony is a quality brand but greed is a SIN.
