When will people, especially those who understand photography, stop comparing a crop of a 60mp camera to a greater focal length. Not even close.
The only difference is the loss of resolution, which, on a 60mp camera with a very sharp lens, is probably acceptable to most users. I probably wouldn't bother with the 90mm equivalent mode, but I'd expect great results, especially up to 50mm.
This is incorrect. Let’s just look at one thing. Compression. A cropped 35mm shot is not the same as a 50 or 90 or whatever. Totally different look, totally different framing.
