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 kiiinda wished I’d stayed in the Canon family just for handling, feel, and what I preferred at the time for ease of use in focus. I love my Sony now but I feel like my favorite son died and I had to adopt a replacement that I just can’t love the same as my bio kid. I tell my A7R that I love him the same but…he knows.

I’ve never liked how big and bulky canon bodies are

Sony’s bodies are much Lighter / smaller. I dislike big heavy bodies.
