To me it seems like every feature Sony brings forth in their cameras seems to be replacing the skill or dedication that used to be needed to make a good photograph.

Can’t be arsed to time your shots? Don’t worry global shutter will basically let you shoot video. Don’t want to bother getting focus right? No worries, it’ll track the eye of a peregrine falcon mid flight.

I can’t help but think certain things are intrinsic to actually being a photographer and the over production of these cameras features takes away from the skills required to be good.

My 2 cents.

    The things that make a good photographer are shot composition and the ability to tell a story through a photo. It doesn’t matter how easy the gear makes it, if you have shit composition, your photo won’t be compelling. And the only way to get better at shot composition is to take photos.
