What paper are you using? What printer?28-30 inches. My 20mp m4/3 is better than my 18mp APSC Canon.
edit... I did watch the video, interesting, details of the process/workflow would be nice to know.

It really comes down to your needs and budget. My daily camera is an X100F. Super small, sharp, fast, love the dials on the top so I can pre-set to get ahead of any picture I may want.Thanks is there a particular model you like? I’m debating between Fuji and Nikon.
Right now, Fuji is in the lead.
Im pretty sure that’s not a mirrorless camera but a pocket camera. I have the previous generation of it, and it’s not what I’m looking for.I have a Canon G9X MK2 that fits perfectly in a Pelican 1010 case. Great low light and video performance in a tiny package. Excellent mountain biking option.

Outside of the X-T4 and IBIS, the main difference in all the models is updated algorithms for AF. Certainly nothing wrong with going a used camera from a reputable dealer and a used X-T3 is a good buy. However if you don't need weather sealing and can scale back on video a bit you can get the X-T30 and save a couple hundred bucks. If the budget doesn't go that high then X-T2 is still a very solid camera and the consumer version is the X-T20. Generally speaking the 0 at the end often would be the "consumer" version. I would use cheaper but I don't want it to come off as it's a cheap POS. It's just scaled back a bit on features but would generally share the same sensors.
The X-T200 I have heard good things about. It's got the Bayer sensor instead of the X-Trans. A lot of people seem to like the color of the bayer. I would suggest renting what you want to get before getting it. Borrowlenses.com or Lensrental.com are good resources. I have personally used borrowlenses in the past with good results.
The G9x is not a particularly good example of the 1” sensor compact cameras....
I’ve also tried the little pocket cameras like the G9, but crap, they’re grainy.
I actually came to m4/3 from where you're looking at heading. I owned both full frame & APSC bodies & lenses. The issue with going Canon mirrorless, is that they don't make a decent range of format specific (APSC) lenses to suit. They're slowly, very slowly, making progress, but after 6 years of waiting, gave up & moved.Thanks Ben.
Budget depends on if I need to replace lenses too.
I would really like to use a Canon mirrorless, especially since I have DSLR lenses from them and it supports both the types (EF and EF-S mounts). My D60 is really heavy for me to carry around, and this includes trips to Japan (we went on a photography trip for Japanese cranes this time) and mountain biking. I love the idea of not needing more lenses and uses what I already have at least to get started. However, the D60 is a pretty heavy camera, and I’m pretty sure the camera tech has improved over time. My husband’s got the full CCD version of it, and that thing is even heavier.
My only issue is Canon is pretty new to mirrorless, and I haven’t seen any reviews or comparisons to them, as they seem pretty sparse. This is why I’m looking at other brands. Usually with DSLRs, it was usually Canon or Nikon, but Sony really changed that with the mirrorless tech.

Actually not true, soon. The announced new Canon mirrorless will have IBIS. I expect that to start trickling down to lower models.This is where m4/3 really kicks goals. A couple of pickies to illustrate. The body shown is regarded as really big in m4/3 circles. I deliberately chose it, to suit my sized hands, & the feature set. That's a Samsung Note for comparison. The GX8 (20 MP) has a 12-64 full frame equivalent field of view lens attached, that's a Canon lens cap in front. Just to give you a sense of scale.
If you like larger aperture fixed focal length lenses, then m4/3 rocks. Here's a small selection of my lens kit. These range from f/1.7-2.5. Not shown any of my f/1.4 lenses here. Which is important for capturing more light, to offset the smaller sensor size. They're all tiny, sharp, excellent quality & not super expensive. One thing to note, all later m4/3 cameras have image stabilization built into the body, which works with all lenses. Canon does not have any bodies with this feature. Hope this gives you something to think about.
Dude -how long do you think it’s reasonable to wait? I waited 6 years just for a 50mm equivalent lens, and gave up. Still another 2 years down the road, no IBIS, or even a decent 85mm equivalent. Canon treats anything other than full frame like the red headed step child. I should have realised that, after seeing the lack of progress with EF-S, but they tricked me when they released the EOSM & that lovely little 22 f/2 pancake. Which I still, have, along with the wonderful little 11-22, 40 pancake, an EF 28 f/2.8 IS, 18-55, 55-250 STM & a few other EF lenses. m4/3 just does it better.Actually not true, soon.

Yeah this is why I’m looking at Nikon. I have a Canon 70D, and it’s not a full frame CCD, where my husband has a 5D mk2 or 3 (can’t remember).Dude -how long do you think it’s reasonable to wait?

Thanks! This looks perfect. I’m gonna look into it.Looks like nikon has a Z5 out.
$1,399.95
Affordable full frame mirror less.
Most likely shares a lens with the Z8 when it hits the market.
hmmmm

For which camera? The EOS R has a bunch of great lenses, just they are big bucks and nothing to cart around in a back pack for a ride in my opinion. A lot of canon lenses has IS. IBIS is gonna raise the price of the body a lot to where the average person is not going to want to buy.Dude -how long do you think it’s reasonable to wait?

I would hold off a minute and wait for the Sony A7C to release. It'll be a small full frame camera from sony for $1800. It uses the A7III sensor: https://www.theverge.com/2020/9/14/21437339/sony-a7c-camera-announcement-specs-price-release-dateThanks! This looks perfect. I’m gonna look into it.
