That last paragraph is a downer... Unlike film cameras, DSLR cameras you already own are going to be harder to maintain, if at all, and then what happens to all the thousands we spent on dslr glass...
- jacquesm 13y agoThis has been happening with every cycle. Media life-span got shorter and shorter. Just look at things like 16mm, 8mm, VHS and soon on the video front, 45, then 33 rpm vynil, compact cassette, DAT tape and CDs on the audio front. With film it isn't any different and it should be no surprise that digital devices suffer from this too. There has to be some lower limit for medium+device longevity.
- 3pt14159 13y agoIf there was a near-magical device that someone created that let you take pictures with your eyes at any iso, angle, etc that you desired wouldn't you be happy? The money we've put into glass is money towards an end. The end being taking awesome photos. If tomorrow I could do with my phone what I can do with my backpack + three or four lenses + 5D MII I wouldn't even blink. I'd just say "SWEET!" I love my lenses because of the photos they give me. And I totally disagree with this article. For every DSLR person that goes mirrorless there are going to be 10 iPhone photographers that go "pro".
