>>get my camera
>>come back to /p/
>>now wondering if I made a mistake
Seems like you've already identified your mistake. Why would you even come here if you don't want to have arguments about gear? The site sucks for photo sharing

>>4383409
you did not because you picked the wrong camera (literally doesnt matter), but because photography is dead.

>>4383409

literally nobody buys 1 camera and is happy with it forever. All you have done is started onto a path of destruction for your bank account, dont stress, it wont be long and you will be back studying those gear reviews and planning your next purchase.

I hated my first camera too (canon 600d) but it helped me figure out what I actually wanted.

Its funny how in every single hobby at every single point in said hobby's timeline there is one constant. That constant is retarded american teenagers say "dis ded" because they're not immediately successful

>>4383413
>photography is dead
No it isn't, I literally took photos today
Just not sure if lurking /p/ is bad for me or if I bought the wrong gear

>>4383419
>>4383421
holy cope. r/analog is dead. /p/ is dead. Photography only IG accounts are dead. Flickr died a long time ago. It's over, wake up.

>>4383422
Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I'm still going to have fun taking photos though.

>>4383422
nah keep your short form tit shaking, cgi voice conspiracy theories, and fake genuine product shilling. keep your jake paul chalamet whatever. im not buying that photography died. the swamp of the audience was drained, revealing very little land and a few noble things in a place that was mostly muck and slimy retards.

>>4383424
>cope
Yea keep building sand castles for yourself and posting about it on 4chan. nice one
>>4383425
>seethe
lol

>>4383422
>r/analog is dead
Not sure what that is, but I took photos so photography literally isn't dead
>/p/ is dead
No it isn't
>IG accounts
No idea what that is
>Flickr
No idea what that is
I simply take photos and share them with my friends and family, it's a fun, relaxing, meditative hobby.

>>4383409
No matter what camera you pick, there will be retard brand cucks that will lambast you for it. Just buy what works for you and enjoy it.

>>4383422
Sorry to hear about your vast inadequacy, I make heaps from taking photos.

>>4383409
Captain Obvious here:
If the tools you could afford enable you to properly do the task you got them for, then it's not a mistake. If you do not use the tools or the tools are not good enough, then it is a mistake.

>enable you to properly do the task you got them for
>take worthless photos of building corners, signs, flowers, the pet cat, and dead bugs
Nice. Totally needed a $3000 MILC for that.

>>4383466
Bro your leaves and rocks?

>>4383409
Which camera is it?

>>4383468
EM1-III

I just buy whatever anons here tell me to buy

That's how I picked up my rx100, I like it

>>4383469
Why that one?

>>4383476
It seemed to fit everything I needed, good image quality, weather sealed, durable, good size and weight, good at night, starry sky AF.

>>4383477
So what's the problem then? Are none of those things true?

>>4383469
So what's the issue then? It's a great camera, and the system is overall very cheap. You shouldn't pay too much attention to what people here are saying about the system. If you want some confidence, go check out flickr or reddit where people post pics taken with the same camera.

>>4383479
I'd say the good at night part is debatable, but that's class-leading ibis so still subjects will be just fine. I remember getting 2s handheld shots with E-M1 iii some time back. Sold it to get more FF glass in the end, lol.

>>4383479
>>4383480
This is what I mean, it's a great camera and serves my purposes well, but every time I come here I feel I made a mistake

>>4383487
People will seethe regardless of what you get lol. Stop justifying your purchase to literal nobodies and just enjoy photography. I'm sure you bought it because of some traits you liked, and some disadvantages you didn't care about, so just use it.

>>4383487
Just take photos and then look at them. Print some. Then you can start thinking about what kind of a tool would serve you better. Spergs here will just seethe and never post photos anyways.

>>4383440
Do you have an actual response to this doe?
>ah keep your short form tit shaking, cgi voice conspiracy theories, and fake genuine product shilling. keep your jake paul chalamet whatever. im not buying that photography died. the swamp of the audience was drained, revealing very little land and a few noble things in a place that was mostly muck and slimy retards.
oh no coomers and the easily shilled no longer enjoy photos oh no. now we’re going to have to shoot just art instead of art, ads, and porn.

>>4383409

hello pepe you shoot celene nox vids on that beach?

>>4383487
>but every time I come here I feel I made a mistake
That's because you did, you bought m43 despite everyone telling you not too. 4chan is a place of compulsive contrarians, which normally doesn't matter and provides a lot of great humor, but in the case of spending money it means you're just going to be stuck buying bad gear because of your unresolved neurosis.

You could have spend $300 and bought a full frame dslr and not had to worry and doubt, but because that's the sensible choice and the obvious recommendation you compulsively had to do the opposite. You really have no one to blame but yourself.

>photography is dead
So are many of the other arts. From music to design to CGI whatever. It's the absolutely worst time to be a creative, and I don't see it getting any better in the foreseeable future.
