    DanMorrison got a reaction from petar jelev in BMPCC vs GM1   
    Petar, I have a 550d, If you compare the sensor performance on tests like DXO mark and at DPreview you should see that the GM1 outperforms the 550d as far as the sensor is concerned... 
     
    However, the sensor size will also play a big role in your resulting image. Consider how your lenses will look on a 2x crop vs. 1.5x crop.

    It still can be. I've never seen a genuine opinion shut down on this site, regardless of how far it strays from conventional wisdom. I have found respectful disagreements to be welcome if not encouraged. With that said, I have also seen rudeness, cockiness, malice, and ill-temper attempting to pass itself off as "just a genuine opinion what's the big deal," and on that I agree with the overall sentiment of this post wholeheartedly - it needs to stop because it detracts greatly from the benefit you can get from scrutiny among friends. 

    I would be in favor of stricter community moderation as a first step, with more aggressive steps taken as needed. There are plenty of other festering cesspools of partisan hatred on the internet. EOSHD is (and should continue to be) a place for honest, frank, respectful discourse.

    also have a section called 'Let Me Google That for You' for all the newbie questions by people who cannot be bothered using Google to ask the most simple things! as these clog up the forum massively, especially this past few months ,as loads of new peolple I have never heard of before ask the most inane questions they can easily find on Google .......

    This is an interesting topic, and something that a lot of sites have difficulty with. 
     
    I have been a part of the Iron Brush forum for quite some time, and I have noticed a very different atmosphere there, it is very respectful, and every post is thoughtfully written. Amazingly, the forum feels very constructive. 
     
    I have also noticed a bunch of garbage posts popping up here... my favourite is when a poster has clearly not read the rest of the thread... uhg. 
     
    The Iron Brush forum requires that you email the mod, and present your work/introduce yourself before you are allowed to make an account. I think that this could help a great deal... though, whether or not that would take up too much of your time, I'm not sure... 
     
    I like the idea of a semi-closed forum, however, I do think that you should allow for the growth of that membership by accepting new members based on what they may have to offer. 
     
    When the membership is stable enough, and everyone is on the same page, and here to learn and grow.. it should just moderate itself pretty well.

    Andy, I agree that the 1.6x crop sensor is a huge advantage in the a6000. I've been debating the switch from 1.6x to m43 for a long while now, and I just don't think I can do it.... there are too many advantages with the 1.6x crop, especially in terms of using older glass... 
     
    I believe it's a perfect balance between FF and m43. You still get most of the character of 35mm lenses coming through, but the added depth of field is beneficial for filming... that FF shallow DOF is an effect that should be used sparingly in my opinion, akin to tilt/shift in a way. 
     
    I look forward to seeing tests posted here from Andrew. 
     
    As for the Cameralabs tests, I think that his videos are often misleading. It's a shame that 90% of the early testers out there are kind of bad at photography and video. It takes a skilled cinematographer/photographer/editor to know how to coax out the true quality of a camera and then present it accurately without ruining the footage somewhere along the way.
     
    But I guess that these testers sometimes only get a very short time to test each camera, and they are probably more focused on the technical side of things...
