This is not meant to be political, but rather, just a simple photograph of what is one of the most beautiful perennials in my wife's garden.
What it shows, though is the surprising level of quality that can be achieved with a 1" sensor. This was photographed with the Sony RX-10iii at ƒ5.6 @ 1/60. The evening light was waning, so I had to bump the ISO to 200 and sit very still in my deck chair to capture this at 400mm equivalent.
I've included a 100% crop to provide a sense of the detail possible. No, it's not the detail I would expect from from D800E, but it is certainly high enough for print work and I could not have made this photograph if the D800E was all I had. By the time it was set up on a tripod with the 300mm attached, the moment would have passed.
The second, made at 1/40 at 500mm equivalent, shows the same level of sharpness. I'm amazed.
