Reminiscence

[Robert Roaldi]

I was just thinking this morning how not that long ago (10 or so years maybe?) people in the photo-interweb, including on these pages, were saying that "full-frame" sensors would never become commonplace because of low silicone wafer yields and other factors that would make cameras using those sensors prohibitively expensive. And here we are today where in some circles Olympus is being criticized for NOT building cameras with "full-frame" sensors.

maybe because, we can buy today FF Canon 6DII and Nikon D750 for $1299.

Yes, but Olympus's new camera will be just as bulky and cost $3000.
