Alex_Es Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 <p>Thanks Paul. I'm on my way. The thing to remember is that the M8 is, roughly speaking a half frame camera: x1,3333… (as opposed to x1:4). Thus you have the builtin advantages of cropping.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob F. Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 <p>Well, not exactly a half frame camera. The M8.2 captures 75% of the width and height, or if you want to compare on the basis of area, then it's a 57% frame camera. That's .75 times .75. A little better than half frame; OK, not that much better, now that I did the numbers. I never thought about it in area terms before. But I wouldn't kick an M8.2 to the curb just for that, nor just because we can't crop in-camera!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
