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 somewhat agree with you but in a different way. I think it’s totally fine for photographers to have all of these new features. It’s awesome, especially for professionals and it makes everyones life easier. It’ll open up some doors to new types of flash photography and some new moments that would have been almost impossible to photograph being photographed more often.
For me, the new features take out a lot of the joy and the tactile experience of photography which is why I usually shoot with a 5D mark II. It’s the perfect sweet spot between film and mirrorless for me, personally.
However, the second I have to take pictures of animals or little kids, I’m grabbing my Canon T8i. Lool
