A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Brand change regret? (alien.top)

I’ll preface this by saying I’ve used many different brands of cameras since I started photography; I won’t list them because there have been many. In 2016, photography kinda lost its magic to me so I decided to buy a Fujifilm X-T10 just because. That camera, for whatever reason made photography fun again and I can’t explain why. However, that joy was short lived as I discovered Lightroom’s terrible rendering of the X-Trans filter, giving certain textures a watercolor effect. Lightroom was the only program I was using at the time and to me, the errors were distracting enough so I ended up going M43. Fast forward to today and I’ve switched to using ON1 and it renders my old Fuji files just fine, and now I’m longing for my little X-T10. All that being said, anyone else regret or long for a past camera you didn’t appreciate at the time?

I should not have given my D90 away. It's a compact, light and flexible camera. Files aren't to big either. I wanted to go fullframe and carry a D610 now. I would never switch brand though.

They really nailed it with the D90. Top notch sensor, a top screen, AF drive and the body felt pretty good despite not being as rugged as the D300.
