The quality of the lens is usually a compromise between a very large focal length
and a small image sensor, says Clauss.
Digital system cameras have been on the market for only about two years. Just
like an SLR camera you can remove and change the lens on a system camera.
Because a system camera has no mirror it is much lighter than a comparable SLR
model. The Micro Four Thirds System (MFT) created by Panasonic and Olympus
has set the standards for system cameras.
MFT cameras have a live view on their displays. The image sensor in this type of
camera is much larger than in a compact camera, says Clauss. The sensor is the
same size as those found in SLR cameras at 17.3x13 mm and has a resolution of
about 12 megapixels.
Germany's consumer organisation, Stiftung Warentest, conducted a study on
system cameras and included a few SLRs for comparison. Of the 25 cameras
examined Stiftung Warentest rated 23 as 'good' and the other two were ranked
as 'satisfactory.' However, all of the models took better quality pictures than
normal compact cameras.
Single-lens reflex cameras with APS-C sensors are very compact in size but are
larger than system cameras with interchangeable lenses. An APS-C sensor is
23x15mm and bigger than that found in a system camera. Thanks to its larger
size, the APS-C sensor shows its superiority when photographing bright objects.
The sensor also gives you a wider spectrum of options to select different areas
of focus.
