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.
I just like to capture the moments my family lives for posterity… with a digital camera, I take 1,000 pictures and 10 turn out better than I thought, and 990 I can pick apart and find something wrong with. I get the nicest gear I can justify getting with my limited budget, and I take nice pictures once a month or when we have a family event or vacation. I don’t aspire to be a professional, make money at it or win awards. It’s a hobby… My 2 cents.
