What do you reckon /p/https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/news/young-people-no-longer-practice-photography-says-fujifilm
sounds about right. your phone is good enough, convenient, and basically free. whereas an SLR is big, expensive, easy to steal, and usually has a flat battery.
>>4375935If they really thought people didn't want a camera they'd make the form factor more like a camcorder than an slr brick tbqh. They know young people still want something that "looks" like a camera and does camera-like things, so why say that the youth don't practice photography?
>>4375935Gen Z and A are also the most mentally stunted generations in american history and are projected to have higher rates of dementia at an earlier age than their ancestors - at such a high rate that the same data on their brains also predicts the total collapse of the US healthcare system. Do you really want to think about their “preferences”? In most cases its because they are literally too stupid to like anything but simple short form instant gratification with sex, explosions, and shopping.
>>4375946>ugh is that mild adversity>like i have to carry 1 pound>uggggh and learn something>ugggghhhhhzoomers, when they grow up and the last generations retire we will lose most of our industry and half of STEM. hence the AI push… before its too late!
>>4375951tell me the one about walking to school, uphill both ways, barefoot, in the winter, with the vietcong shooting at you again.
>>4375946>your phone is good enoughThe technology in DSLR sensors is about 10 years behind what we are capable of putting in them. ISO noise shouldn't even be an issue at this point. Photon counting sensors exist and dynamic range of camera sensors should be wildly higher than what we currently see on the commercial market. Any remaining noise within digital cameras could easily be removed by Ai even now, never mind in coming years.
>>4375972Even crazier, using SPAD camera technology, we could technically develop cameras which off you a partial 3D perspective of your subject from a single camera. It uses reflected light sensors to show you whats behind your subject (to a limited extent). So you could rotate your images a little with a bit of quality loss.
>>4375946>>4375951you guys forget most people just owned point and shoots or shitty digicams. nothing has changed normies just don't need to buy a camera anymore
>>4375946>an SLR is big, expensive, easy to stealAren't bigger things harder to steal?
>>4375951Most of your industry is gone.
Turning 30 soon, and i've only ever met 1 photographer younger than me.and nobody cares about digital setups, film and instants are the only photography that even mildly interests zoomers.
>>4375935Great! Now millennial boomers have way less competition to make it. Plus arthoes like published photographers. Great chance to fuck zoomer women.
>>4375950> simple short form instant gratification with sex, explosions, and shopping.You’re right except that in the case of sex they’re not having anywhere near as much as prior generations
It’s pretty obvious short form video has completely taken over photography these days.Photography will still exist but in massively reduced volume and with much less general interest in it.And then after the next 10 years of short form video, enough time should have passed for ai to actually make decent photos and videos and that will become the big thing. The only certainty is change, things will always keep changing.
>>4376006damn right all of them are too scared to approach women from the fear of getting cancelled or having their video ending up on social media
>>4376004You, er, you've never touched a vagina have you.
>>4376011You're right. I am a 30 year old virgin photographer nobody. But mans gotta larp sometimes you know. Just for the sake of just
>>4376011>>4376013But how did you guess that I never seen a vagina?
>>4375996most phones might as well be grafted to their owners hand. cameras are typically in a conspicuous and grabable bag going through baggage checking or on a passenger seat.not that phone snatchers are uncommon.
>>4375935well yeah. kids are fucking dumb.I hate them.>every fucking gen Zer:>Bruh, how do i get this look>posts crappy 30yo worn out vhs frame capture
>>4376006They are having lots of gay sex at furry cons thougheverSeriously why are so many gen z fags furries? Huge explosion in bestiality fetishism too>>4376009Yeah and meat paste fried in rapeseed oil “took over real food” but look at who’s eatinf
>>4376066>Yeah and meat paste fried in rapeseed oil “took over real food” but look at who’s eatinGame set match with all>photography is ded, ur pixel peep, muh billion images, no one caresdemoralization fags. They sound like this:Nine billion and one chicken fingers made out of mechanically separated paste that may or may not be chicken are fried in brain-damaging canola and swallowed in one bite every day. Stop cooking food. Stop checking temps. No one cares about your cuisine.

>>4375935Good.Less competition.
>>4376096This is what crop sensor users actually sound like.
>>4377536absolutely fucking based, I now will attend my next local furry con dressed like I am on a safari.
>>4377573Dress like this and get your biggest telephoto lens out. Furries love the BIGWHITELENS.

Phones have made any type of dedicated camera completely redundant for normal purposes and as a result the market responded by becoming much more exclusive and expensive. Sure you can technically buy an entry model with kitlens for under $1000 but just getting a normal selection of lenses etc has become incredibly expensive and newcomers will have to stick to thrifting + LingLingtronics stuff. Of course it was never normal for newcomers to outright buy a flagship camera with OEM lenses but right now the situation has gotten so bad you're a whale for just owning a new lens made by the same company that build your camera.
>>4377618This is your brain on trying to impress /p/Sony nikon and canon all have brand name lenses under $300. “Real photography” is so accessible now that the massive influx of poors created a social problem (“any viewing conditions that makes expensive stuff obviously better is bad and people with expensive stuff are worse than us real working men and should be ashamed” finally hopped from the world of car guys seething at BMW owners over to cameras with the DSLR craze)
>>4377607Yes and? Me and a buddy with large format gear go to further confusion and furry weekend LA every year for the easy photo money. You can charge furfags hundreds for LF photos and they dont even blink. I bring a canon printer and charge them $50 a shot.
>>4377618Lol wut? Using anything beyond an ewaste to mid range model, the kit lens, and one entry level to mid prime has always screamed “rich or odd priorities” and normal people with more lenses have always chinked outLast century it was vivitar and tamron adaptall, now its samyang and viltrox since sigma thinks they’re leica and tamron thinks they’re zeiss
>>4377624>large format gearYou're not any better than a furry. In all likelyhood you probably fuck dogs, so you at least have that in common with them.
>>4377658Yes. And? t. ULF shooter
>>4377573the costume really makes it, they go nuts for that shit.whole groups will turn and look at you, people will follow, circle, encroach, pose.>>4377624LF at a con sounds like a fucking blast, I sold a 5 packs worth of Instax Mini last con, brought the new Mini99 and a group wanted a whole "Polaroid photoshoot" to turn into a scrapbook.They were very gracious that I accepted their offer of "10 bucks a pop ok?"They enjoyed their polaroids.first time i sold photos at a furrycon, wont be the last.If only a good Wide camera existed, could probably hawk those for 30-40
>>4377664>make this post>go about browsing>Lomo Wide Glass just releasedbrb gonna fucking kill myself, curse this monkeys paw i fucking hate lomo
>>4377658>dogs>pluralExcuse me we believe in monogamy and faithfulness here on 4chan. Have some family values.
>>4377658oh man, you don't want to go down on this rabbit hole
>>4377664ez money but at what cost
>>4377696awesome friends who can hook you up with hot bitches and handsome studs
>>4377696i refer you to my original post>>4377536ass is assand good drugsand almost all kinky enough to blow you in a double-double suite with 12 people stacked like sardines
>>4375935This is also why it's so easy to get laid as a millienal photographer. cameras shoot higher quality photos so a lot of zoomers will want you to take their photos and that's an easy in
>>4376009We are so close to a camera with a vertically placed sensor it's insane
>>4378829I would actually prefer this. 95% of my shots are in portrait, but cameras are ergonomically most comfortable in landscape.
Slightly off topic but I have an iPhone that can shoot log video and a lot of pro camera gear for work like Sony FX3 for video a GFX 100 for stills and then a few APCS Fuji models for travel and personal stuff. I did a blind test with my family and girl where I shot the same thing on all my cameras (apart from the GFX) and then on iPhone and graded the log footage. In my blind test almost everyone picked the iPhone 15 Pro Max footage. For most tiktok/youtubers ect the phone is now more than enough and soon the “YouTube” video market is going to be totally dead. Dedicated cameras are becoming more and more niche.
>>4378829Would buylandscape fags would eternally seethe
Zoomers have been driving up the market for compact digishitters for about a year now so I don't know what fuji is smoking.
>>4379855zoomies are also the majority of the Instax market, in spite of fuji treating the line as a joke for a decade.the 99 was 5 years too late, and the 400 is a piece of junk.>t. instant shitter
>>4378829The original Olympus Pen F says hello
>>4377695Is that Alex Burque?
>>4375935who gives a fuck about fuji
>>4379791>buy vertical camera>start taking shots in landscape>>4376009Especially for social media purposes. I'd much rather take a 10 second video than a photo a lot of the time.
