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.

Sensor wise. There has been little to no improvements on cameras for photography in the last 20 years.

Most improvements have been fps speed, display resolutions and in-sensor auto focusing and tracking (mirrorless)

If you test in a control environment a shot taken with a newish a7iii or an oldie 20 year old Nikon d800 o the same lens /same iso, you won't see any difference

Really, so my camera with 60 MP, 15 stops of dynamic range and great low light performance doesn’t represent an improvement over sensor technology from 20 years ago? I beg to differ.
