The price-performance relationship is not good enough for this picture, only my opinion.

Ay, Michael!

Nothing to understand. I don't think of it that way. I could shoot this with any of the above, other than the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which I have.

I just happened to have the Hasselblad XCD lens and there was this frog. I'm not justifying my use of the Hasselblad. I just happen to have it at the time. It's a larger image than Nikon or Sony could provide me other than some pixel doubling or something.
