Back to the classic Bert Hardy "Box Brownie" demonstration, it is the photographer who takes the picture, not the camera! --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

Why would it pain you to say so? Do you dislike the notion that vast numbers of people around the world can have a high-quality, all-in-one still and video camera on the persons wherever they go? -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

Do you dislike the notion that vast numbers of people around the world can have a high-quality, all-in-one still and video camera on the persons wherever they go? :-) Because I am an old fart, who sometimes used to manage to hand-hold at 1/8 second when using Kodachrome II at 25 ASA. Using a proper viewfinder first of all cuts off some extraneous light and lets you frame the image better (including getting the horizon horizontal) and helps you to hold the camera steady. I don't think I would ever buy a camera without a viewfinder, although I will admit to framing and focussing from the back screen when doing macro work. It's not exactly *dislike*, more a mild envy that for most of my life it required much more technique to get a decent picture on 35 mm! It is quite nice though to see just what resolution people could get on plate cameras 100 years ago or more, even if they needed half a second exposures in full sunlight. :-) --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

My mileage has varied a great deal. It's not quantity vs quality; for hundreds of millions of people it's camera vs no camera. And an awful lot of those people are taking great pictures. These, e.g. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...one-photos-of- 2017_us_5953d2aee4b05c37bb7b3e8f. And in video, the Oscar-winning movie shot in part on an iPhone https://nofilmschool.com/2013/03/oscar-searching-sugar-man-shot-iphone. So stow the smugness.

Yeah, almost as good as a cheap DSLR these days, and with a lot less fighting the camera and the glass plates. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

I just see people living their lives pretty much as always. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |
