>> a lot of people shoot their DSLR's in program mode without making technical considerations
Also, a lot of consumer DSLR buyers don't buy much more than a slow superzoom or a kit lens duo (~18-50 + 70-210/300), so they're not truly benefiting from the potential of their purchase beyond the larger sensor.

- slantyyz 10y ago>> Kit lenses are often not what limits the quality of images people produce. I did not say that though. I only said that they're not benefiting from the potential of their purchase. Besides, a lot of consumers who buy DSLR kits are doing it on someone's recommendation. They aren't going to bother learning the craft of photography, and once the honeymoon period is over, they're going to get tired of carrying a bulky camera around and their whole purchase will start to collect dust.
- brudgers 10y agoMy apologies for not understanding your intent.
- ghaff 10y agoExactly. There are still a lot of good reasons to use a DSLR for some applications. But if you're using one with a crappy kit lens on Auto that you never take off, you're carrying a bigger camera than you need. Even WRT the larger sensor, there are a bunch of much lighter and more compact mirrorless cameras that are either APS-C or micro 4-3rds.
