Fujifilm Cameras

I assumed you would want everything in focus but that doesnt seem to be the case.

Not at all, look at sports , portrait, wildlife - then landscapes may do
look at some images hopefully will also have exif data so you can see the details

BUT back to an earlier questions

I work in some real beautiful places and stunning scenery so it ill be used at work as well as weekends so it will get some use, I just never seem happy with the pictures out of my phone

Why NOT ???
if you can identify that maybe will help point the way to the system you may want

are you going to be happy lugging a body and a few lenses around ??
 
I like some pictures I get from my iphone but some are too out of reach, for example it doesnt zoom in far enough for some pictures

will do. My head is exploding with all of the aspects of composition and f stops etc. I find it fascinating though

It’s a fascinating hobby for sure.

I’ve got a DSLR but I admit I’ve not used it much.

When I was running my joinery business I used to use a photographer to take shots of our orangeries, I learnt a lot from him. The most key thing was lighting, he would visit a job, work out the aspects and then go back and take shots from different angles at different times of the day to get the best lighting. It used to cost me upto £1k for each shoot.

That is why I was looking at micro 4 thirds as they seem high quality and the lenses are much cheaper and easier to lug around, I do a lot of walking and hill climbing so didnt want to lug huge gear around with me.

ok, so you want a telephoto or a good quality image and crop - what type of image

dont know the 4thirds and looking around the site had trouble understanding why much cheaper etc

I think there is a lot of technique which justifies their prices, sounds expensive but then when you weigh up the exense of their gear you can sort of see why they charge that price

Well apparantly from what I can see, Olympus sold out to OM systems and they are well respected, the camera systemms are top notch and light, the lenses are smaller physically as well as weight wise, they look really good. Because they use less materials the lenses are cheaper but the glass is high quality.

I think this is the way for most of us.

They end up in the cupboard because the iPhone is good enough. Phones have killed the market.
 
YEP small sensor and mount -
this format is all new to me - but 1st principles still apply

i gave up on the kit - i tried a canon pro1 bridge , - but was not good slow shutter respoinse speed was annoying and huge, and so i invested in mre gear BUT
and now all my kit has been in a cupboard for a few years now

Ok, so that system may limit the choice of lenses - but looking at some of the youtube videos seem to have a few

I see a 25% of full frame sensor - so small sensor and a crop factor of x2

small sensor - how much noise do you get at higher iso

i looked on dpreview as they often have good reviews - BUT i could not see there normal review were they try out different ISO settings for noise

look interesting
based on the 2x - then for landscape a 28mm or 24mm lens - so thats 12mm
standard 50mm thats then 25mm for street, BUT if they have a fast zoom - i would want F1.8 though out the zoom
telephoto for wildlife - probably 100-400 (so 50-200 ) again with good f stop

The micro four thirds lenses are superb from what I have researched. with the 2 x crop factor you double the focal length in comparison to full frame, so a 50 to 300 becomes 100 to 600mm. A lot tighter crop so the crop doesnt have to be as extreme as a full frame crop, you can fill the frame without cropping so noise is not such a problem.
 
small sensor have in the past been noisy at higher iso - so i'm trying to find the comparison photo examples
loads of old discussions on crop lenses when they first came out - optical quality - as using less of the lens , noise , etc etc
you can fill the frame without cropping so noise is not such a problem.

dont get to carried away with that ..... as i say still looking for reviews of noise on the camera
interseting a few of the 3rd party lens makers like sigma and tamron seem to have stopped making that format lens

is that at the moment your preference , if so - see if you can at least get hold of one and see ho wit feels in the hand, eye and using the controls - NIKON never felt right to me , for example and i was given a nikon at my mates daughters wedding and asked to take informal photos - hated it
