I used to love photography. Started out with a canon 50d and loved that camera and took it everywhere we went. Got some amazing photos thoughtout my time with it and had a blast. Really got into photography from seeing people on social media and YouTube. Photography was a huge reason for us to go out and explore areas. Found out i was actually pretty good at photography. Switched to a few sony mirrorless cameras and it seemed since the switch I lost my spark with photography. Really hated the sony platform and the camera was really small feeling in my hands (a6000). Recently sold all my sony gear and thinking going back to canon. I even have a samsung s22 ultra phone for the camera ability and only use it here and there for quick shots. I also found my dad’s old sears film camera and started thinking about having it cleaned to start messing with it. Those that fell out of the hobby and got back in, what did you feel helped?

    Sony is lifeless.

    I’m a 45- yr pro; luckily I have an even better career in design so I flip back and forth. I was “last” doing design and started teaching Typography. My college knew my photo background and asked me to start a photo major. I did, bought into Canon digital and quit teaching to do photo in Beijing. 10 years later and Canon even with Zeiss primes, got boring. Bought into Leica and I’m going again.

    My suggestion is to do something for a while, and then find a system that is your perfect tool.
