Is that a glitch on the forum set-up or I'm I missing something ?
Using the usual symbols don't seem to work . As in ;)
So no wink to imply jest .

The brands or formats that need defending are the liveliest forum sections. It's a self defence mechanism. M43 for format wars and Nikon Z for AF wars are prime examples.

Those that feel comfortable with their brand or format have no need to get lively. They have nothing to defend.

It really is as simple as that

One of the interesting things here is how the 'threads' landing page seems to have broken up those silos. People can see conversations all over the place and just enter them - so all the forums seem to be calmer.

That silo-busting characteristic is my favorite thing about this place. I’m definitely one of those now reading more broadly than the mostly-siloed way I participated at dpreview.

Interesting take. Probably some truth to it. Though, as a prior Canon 1DS Mark II shooter & current Nikon Z7 shooter, I’ve never wanted to complain about the Z7’s AF or engage in “AF wars”. Why? Because I don’t try to turns screws with a hammer (ie, use tools for things they aren’t good at). I use my Z7’s mostly for landscape (for which they are a terrific tool) & some slow moving things (for which they are a good tool). But they definitely aren’t the best for, say, BIF or sports (which is not to say one can’t use them at all in those spaces). Z9’s & various cameras from Canon & Sony are definitely better in that area. Seems to me we should dispassionately eval tools & use them for what they’re good at, and leave it at that.

Only in your head, and Lord knows what's going on in there.

Micro Four Thirds is dead and its users are just in a state of denial. Users of other systems are satisfied, the future of their system is secure, so they don't need to flood the forums with new threads and posts to try to justify their choice of system.

Bhaha good one!

I think only mentally stable people, aproximating healthy individuals, are MF people. Very rarely they argue, and they do what is needed. Their format is a standard. The sensor usually captures the image.

FF people suffer superiority complex, mocking anyone with lesser camera. Compared to MF sensor, there is not that much image left, but well, it is affordable, compact, and has great support. Any moment I had a FF camera in my hands, I felt like a better person.

APS-C people are in deep denial, forced to lie to the own community, to their friends, children, parents, not only about fair image quality on daily basis. There is not much image left in this crop sensor format, but oh well, it is yet more compact and cheaper. At the moment I am member of this group, looking up to the superior class again.
False peple, don't trust them.

MFT people suffer equivalence madness, with equivalence that is not possible to reach. They know they are weak AF, but they will make other peoples day miserable to feel better. There is hardly any image (quality) left in the MFT format.
You better play petangue than shooting this format.

1" people are trolls grasping on flashy features of their poor trashy electronics store cameras that just lures money from these unwise individuals. There is about no image left on the sensor, yet they troll and bother everyone with their horrible snapshots like it was a good catch. Possibly because they did not pass puberty.

1/1.7"+ group of people are "happy idiots". They have no reason to be happy, as there is no image left from the camera output, yet they enjoy themselves. At least they don't engage in sensor wars as long as MFT-FF people don't come down and bully them to no end, which they do, to heal their complexes (which does not help any named group). They should be mute from all that abuse, yet their two brain cells somehow survived.

Therefore I conclude that most photographers are immature, sick, childish, broken, broke, otherwise unsuitable for society people. Be ashamed of yourself. No joking.

No wonder people are moving to smartphones.

I agree but I have to admit, before the Z9 was launched, it got pretty bad in the Z forums. I can see why people got defensive.

When I got into photography back in the 70's, "MF" referred to "Medium Format" which was typically 120 or 220 roll film. Back in those days, "full format" was the realm of sheet film cameras.

My dad, a Rolleiflex shooter, used to complain about 35mm cameras producing "negatives the size of postage stamps".
