The only way to develop a true understanding of and appreciation for the genre is to study some of the greats.

I have a D700 (12mp) that I bought just after it was released. I still use this camera and I have made many large prints (up to 24”x36”). They all look great.

My current camera is 40mp and affords me the ability to crop heavily and pay a premium for storage space.

If I made 18”x24” prints of the same shot from both cameras, it’s likely no one would be able to tell the difference.

I’m left handed. All cameras are pretty much right handed. I’m also left eye dominant. I had to get glasses recently and that played a big role in me retiring my old camera with the optical viewfinder. Using the LCD is much easier with glasses. Unfortunately, using the LCD is often impractical, especially outdoors, so I still use the EVF quite a lot.

I was getting my glasses dirty a lot from touching the back of my thumb knuckle to my right lens. It took awhile for me to realize that most folks look through the viewfinder with their right eye, so it’s likely not an issue for them. Unfortunately, training myself to use the right eye just seems like too much so I’ve resigned myself to getting my glasses dirty every time I use the viewfinder. 😕
