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.

Why all of sudden cameras , especially the mediocre crappy budget cameras from the 2000s & 2010s have become popular again. I'm seeing my Instagram and YouTube feed being flooded with reels and shorts about 'this 20 usd camera takes film like photos'.

So what's next , Nokia era phone cameras being popular again.

My Canon SX100 from 2009 and my Canon SX510 from 2017 both take better quality photos than my cellphone. Both cameras also fit in my purse. Another plus is that my small cameras can be set to manual. Negative is that setting the iso above 400 results in lots of bizarre pixel stuff.

I have a Pentex DSLR and a Sony Nex-3. Usually use my Sony. But sometimes don't want to take my camera bag, etc. A small camera that fits in my purse is handy at times.
