Sorry to weigh in like this, but both sides are equally right/wrong and stupid. Cameras are just like programming languages, just tools. Some cameras are great for one thing, while they suck for another thing. You make decision based of your shot list you have to make, plan for lights accordingly and thats it. Whining and "one tool to rule them all" doesn't help when job is about to be done.<p>One thing I've noticed though with smaller "toy sized" cameras is that actors don't like them. Yes. At least most of them (especially ones without stage experience). They tend to use camera bulk as a viewing audience, and I found an easy and cheap way to fix this. Just slap a huge matte box on camera and that's it. Psychology is a funny thing.
