[Oliver Peters] “I get way more mileage out of manipulating an image from any high-quality camera than I do from these marginal cameras. That’s not even getting into things like lack of proper motion blur, rolling shutter artifacts, lens distortion, and the fact that a camera like an iPhone by default doesn’t record with proper synchronization. Quite frankly, the original HD image from a Canon 5D looked far more pleasing at 1:1 than any of this new crop. Even in spite of line binning.

Sadly, in the real world. A lot of us don’t get the budgets to regularly work with “high-quality” cameras as much as we’d like.
Despite what you say there is a LOT you can do with “marginal” cameras to get the best from them when you have to.
