Thanks!
Both just single shots. The butterfly was at f8 and the damsel was f11. Both were 1-1 on a micro 4/3 sensor. The smaller sensor gives more depth of field at a given f stop. Full frame equivalent depth of field would be f16 and f22, also it would have to be at 2-2 magnification to get the same framing. Small sensors may be noisier and have less dynamic rage, but they do have advantages too.
Edit should add both have had a little sharpening and clarity applied in post.
Smaller sensors are not bad. But as you said correctly, they have some limits. I would add as a "limit" the bokeh as well. A f/2.8 bokeh on a crop sensor is not the same as on a full frame.
I've seen very good pictures from MFT or APS-C cameras.
Really beautiful pictures ! super sharp and detailed.
Are these stacked or did you use a small aperture ?
Thanks!

A lot of details of the butterfly and the damselfly. Thumbs up!
