I am utterly flabbergasted by that attitude. I totally dig having useless old tech around (hey I brought a mechanical typewriter), but there is nothing inhumane about getting good quality photos of the people in your lives and be able to share them widely. If you have somehow made your phone inhuman, that's not on your phone. If you feel like you can take pictures you couldn't take otherwise, start playing with the settings on your camera app.
