Is there a reason why DSLRs don't have adjustable sensors

What did he mean by this?

because they are toys made for plebs.

Tilting and panning the sensor to correct perspective and whatnot like you can do with the film in medium and large format cameras.

what the fuck do you think lens correction in lightroom and photoshop is for?

>out of camera is the same as in camera
>options aren't a good thing

>>2916471 Because, dipshit, modern photography technology is finely engineered stuff where no wastage is allowed. Building a lens with tolerances necessary for modern quality requirements while simultaneously having either large image circle/wide aperture/wide angle (any 2 of the 3) is expensive and requires significant R&D and manufacturing processes. Having tilt shift appropriate for 35x24mm or larger requires a huge image circle, and either quality suffers or the price goes through the roof.

>>but but muh lf film

I like film and film cameras as much as the next guy but you're being a retard and not considering the physics of what makes one lens design make sense and another not.

That's what tilt-shift lenses are for, and they're already available for a variety of formats.
The reason the sensor itself isn't used for shifting is space constraints and the mirror box, you'd need at least 10mm of shift on small format for it to be really useful and it would throw the whole reflex system out of whack.
Most camera lenses are strictly optimized for their intended format size, so you'll rarely have an image circle much bigger than the actual sensor, with some lenses even employing square baffles at the rear of the lens to minimize stray light.

I think some Pentax cameras have a feature to shift the sensor using the mechanism normally used for image stabilization.

Because the whole point of a SLR is that you can see what the film/sensor sees.

Good luck framing your shot when your viewfinder sees one thing, but your sensor is angled or shifted to show something else.

Just use a tilt-shift lens.
