Im going back to aps-c, pic related. I have finally gained wisdom and dropped the pretensions. It only took me a decade. Bros, 24MP is enough. Film is dead. Medium format, film or digital, is only worth it if you shoot professionally. save yourself the pain. Just shoot. Don’t be a gear whore.
>>4517696If you were speaking any truth you wouldn’t be attention whoring on 4chan over itYou know you’re giving up something you enjoy. Or maybe looking up longingly instead. Short on cash? Lol. Now give us the usual cope about instagram on phones and return to the orange site
>>4517702The fuck are you talking about. I don’t even have instagram. I print for books and prints up to 2x3ft. I used to hike with an RZ67.I enjoyed the fantasy of using a film or sensor size that “pros” use. I haven’t picked up my Gfx 50R in months. You what I do love? My Ricoh griiix. Obsessing over specs doesn’t matter if you don’t take the camera with you.Sounds like you want me to feed into your own delusions about what a real “photographer” is or sone gay shit.
>dont be a gear whore!>blows $2000 on a "26mp" (16mp adjusted for cfa blur) cope machine that gets mogged hard by a $300 5DIII and $100 40mm f2.8
>>4517705I paid $800.
>>4517704Nice reddit spaced seethe rant but it really sounds more like you ruined photography for yourself by being an actual gear whore and now you spend all day on /p/ taking it out on people who are happy with their a7vs and r5iis whenever you aren’t taking pics of your dog. I cant fathom being mentally ill enough to make a nophoto thread informing 4chan of my choice of camera and claiming its the best. I already know my camera is the best. You come to me to hear about it. Not the other way around. Sucka.
>>4517707/p/ is dead I’m just here to shitpost. Imagine taking this place or the internet seriously. I’m just excited to get my xpro2 and warn others film and large cameras.
>>4517708>i made a mistake and need to shitpost to feel better about itJust the latest in a string of purchases, each one definitely the camera unlike the lastPeople like you dont realize it but you get bored with photography. It’s not the camera. People who enjoy photography still take their D850 out daily.
>>4517709I don’t see the mistake when I rarely used the camera I had. I gave up the photographer dreams long ago and just want a system that I actually use.is that so bad. Also no one uses a dslr anymore
>>4517710> I gave up the photographer dreams long agoYeah it showsHappy people don’t have to post purchase cope about how their old camera is bad and the one they just ordered is good on /p/. An xpro3 is still roughly the same size as a sony a7iv with small primes. Not too far off from a canon r8 or nikon zf either. You’re still another purchase or two away from realizing you don’t like doing photography more than you dislike carrying a camera anymore. You’re not the first or the last person to go down this melodramatic road.
>>4517704The thing I always wonder about bringing small cameras places you wouldn't want to bring bigger cameras is what worthwhile picture are you hoping to take and where? Are you really going to take a world class photo walking down the street or on a hike? I get that it's nice and convenient and fun to just have a little camera to snap around with, but if I'm doing "serious" photography I am not bothered by larger cameras because I bring the best tools I can at any cost because it enables me to produce the best images I can.
>>4517711>down this melodramatic road*on /p/for that matter. /m43/ was basically just that. >i dont miss the nice camera i used to love at all. this cheaper lower end one is totally just as good. actually photography is gay cya. -/m43/
>>4517712How many world class photos has the collective of /p/ or this guy >>4517711 ever taken? I’m gonna go with zero. Cameras are just tools and we all have our preferences and perceptions. >>4517711 is probably a little right that I’m being restless and justifying a purchase. I didn’t say all other cameras are bad though, just that there is a trap with film and larger formats that I personally fell into which meant I took less photos, got less practice, and fell out of it. It’s a hobby though which waxes and wanes. I’ll say the Ricoh griii is really cool though and I never thought I’d think a p&s would be worth anything
>>4517717>uhhh no one here is rich so no one deser… needs a nice cameraall the melodramatic gearfags say this m8 its getting oldcongratulations on your most recent camera upgrade. i hope the next time the unhappinates dominates and you need to make a change to beat it back, you choose between just using what you have or quitting. this shopping and post purchase rationalizing is concerning. yes a camera is a camera, they’re tools that take pictures. if you want to take pictures you will. if it doesn’t matter what camera you use if you use it, why should anyone care about what bullshit you bought, including you? these melodramatic gearfags are getting tiring. >half of /p/ be like>hey chat its ya boy canon r3 fag here i just sold my R3 and went to a panasonic gx9 itll help me shoot more ok? maybe you guys should consider. tell me what you think in the comments. >*quits photography 3 sensor size arguments later*
>>451772198% of the internet discourse on photography is hardcore gearfagging so you better not get tired of it. I get it you’re one of the chosen true photographers good for you. I’m gonna shoot this xpro2 get bored of it and come back next year with a similar thread when I buy the xpro4, set your alerts. Here’s a snapshit I made with my 50r oh one true photographer.
>>4517724More 50r snapshits. You can’t stop me and I will do the same with the xpro2
>>4517717I think you're intentionally missing my point. Answer my question please.Personally I don't think the trap is about camera size or format it's about your own shortcomings as a photographer. Choosing the wrong tool for the job is not the tools fault. It is your fault for choosing it.
>>4517729I clearly stated I was fixated on medium format sized sensors, so yea I didn’t understand my own personal needs for a camera. It’s still an amazing machine that I will be sad to sell but I just don’t use it much.
>>4517733You used it when you did photography and now you’re coping about selling it? keka gearfag is someone who never stops camera shopping. for real, 1" and 200g isn’t going to change your life or anyones. its still a large camera that looks obvious and needs to be on a strap, on a clip, or in a bag. see you next dumb purchase rationalization thread where you will declare the secret to good photography is using whatever you bought and that an old clunky aps-c is a gearfag trap that held you back from doing whatever
>>451772498% of photography discourse on the internet is boomers with shopping addictions and money issues desu
