In the days of film, none of these discussions occurred. There were advancements and excitement, but the camera and the film were two entities, and digital processing was expensive and film was...

Happy Saturnalia!

I suppose it may not be a matter of age but simply avoiding useless platitudes. Many age groups are guilty of resorting to that when they don't have anything useful to say.

Then if all you're doing is buying an image then I suppose "it" may very well be all about the image. Taking a picture of value can be pure luck or require years of skill.  In either case, "it" is ...

I just wonder who still says goofy things like "it's all about the image."  No, it's not.  Talk about vastly oversimplifying an issue in an attempt to sound artistically pure.  I honestly wonder ...

I have to agree that when a finish line changes depending on the point being made in argument designed to win rather than a simple discussion it's difficult to make a statement of fact that won't ...

No offense, but that statement is really a foolish cliche. Capturing an image requires a camera. The photographer must have a camera that does what he/she needs it to do. This is very personal and ...

720p was great. 1080i was better and 1080p even better. Blu-ray sales slump despite having superior quality to downloadable content. Why isn't 4k king? Blu-ray? Sales don't indicate superior...

He's probably tired of hearing the same line repeated for the millionth time. It's the same with someone saying "mirrorless is the future" while they continue the same flat sales for the tenth...

Two generations in mature tech is not the same as two generations in emerging tech. Also, each generation can advance in different ways. High pixel density manufacturing is a category unto...

Discussing value is pointless because it's subjective. However, to say that paying more gets you something better is redundant and obvious and...pointless. Yeah, a more expensive camera is likely...

surlezi,
So you're saying that orders of magnitude of price difference for your food analogy is the proper comparison for a 50% greater price charged for a camera in a different market segment? ...

Cost does actually matter. Oh, and horrible Sony interface matters, too. Canon sells more cameras than any other brand. Doesn't sound impotent to me.

This site is run by hipsters.  You don't think Barney is a hipster?  You don't see their galleries of them and their friends going camping and taking pictures of themselves more often than their ...

Grrrr, I'm a grumpy old man named Stu. If something changes or becomes more convenient I hate it because humans survived back when all they had were caves and sharp sticks so why can't we?! I...

So they're basically cockroaches that think they're cool.  Trust me, I'm always right on the edge of hipster society because I like some of the same things they do like having a beard, drinking ...

Be careful, comments like that will land you in a home one day.  A horrible, pun-filled sense of humor is the first sign of dementia.

Also small AF point rather than large.  Not sure if G7 X has that option, but with a large focus point if ANY part of that box is in focus, the camera stops the CDAF routine.  I almost exclusively ...

Did I miss the fact that you can only speak from your own experiences and have no idea there are other people on the planet? Nope, didn't miss that.

Yeah, you're right. You have experiences that span the depth and breadth of all human experience. I mean, it's impossible to lose a card. Or have it stolen. Or to want to transmit photos. Or...
