And flooding the internet with crappy photos just makes it harder for people to find good photos and uses more carbon to store their 90MB images in the cloud. Photography is just consumerism now. They care more about the technical than technique.
And to make a further point, they talk more about their camera and lenses then they do their photographs.
Also, I am the kind of assh0le that tells them to their face what is wrong with their photographs and the conversation ends. So they see my judgement.
I no longer own a camera but for my phone. And with that phone I take pictures that people print and hang. The creativity is in composition and subject, not in detail and pixels.
I am not bitter, I have compassion.
I could imagine you being a Jew calling Jesus bitter when he kicked over the banker's table in the temple.
I think he explained it well.
btw how old is your phone? Car? MPG? Washing machine? Fridge? How many electronic devices have you bought in the last 5 years?
They would be better off carrying around a Cannon SX740 for 1/6 of the price. If you cannot take a good photograph with that then you will not take one with a Z9.
People buy these cameras because they have the money that other people do not and they think the camera makes the photograph. It is like thinking the paintbrush makes the painting.
I find it a bit sad; I could understand it for a dinky plastic camera, but with a flagship device, why can't they just make a bunch of parts and put it on a shelf for 30 years?
Eventually I'll probably buy a mirrorless; but I guess with a shutter count of 196 613, it's had a pretty good run…
