Is there any thinking that stacked sensors are less noisy than the conventional sensors of equivalent MP?
Have to say I am falling out of love with 45mp sensors….they flatter to deceive in poor light.

It amuses me that manufacturers are at last recognising that cropping camera height to save weight compromises the in hand comfort to some degree.  My Sony is 100% better with its Meike MK-A9II Hand Grip…despite adding just 20mm under the fingers.

I discovered in about 1982 that the OM1 needed a winder or motordrive to be really comfortable. Since then I have only had cameras with a motordrive attached or a built-in grip. The only exception being the Fuji FinePix S2Pro (F80) to which I fitted an F80 battery pack. Nikon's larger cameras clearly demonstrate that a built-in grip increases the height by less than does an accessory grip. Olympus demonstrated that making a camera that is a comfortable size, for me anyway, somewhat negates the benefits of the small sensor, the OM D E-M1X being only slightly smaller than a D5.

As far as I am concerned, the new camera is of no use to me, irrespective of its technical specification if it doesn't have a grip, preferably one that will take an EN-EL18D.
