It doesn't matter to the people who would previously have paid for a product. That's the point being made.
Technical excellence will always matter to some, but the point the GP is making is that the quality of smartphones has reached a level where a larger and larger segment of 'people who would have paid' now rest within the smartphone circle on the Venn diagram.
- StavrosK 6y ago"Phones have eaten some of the DSLR market" and "it simply doesn't matter now" are not remotely the same, though.
- foobarian 6y agoI can sympathize with OP's post even if it was not precise. I feel like he was dejected about the fact that the mass market has previously subsidized the DSLR R&D and now that that evaporated the future of DSLRs is grim. But I don't think it's quite at the level of horse carriages :)
- slantyyz 6y ago> "it simply doesn't matter now" If the OP is talking about the general public's perception, with most of them not being photography enthusiasts, I tend to think this rings true. If you're a photography enthusiast, then yeah, not true at all.
