Do you just snapshit continuous high jpegs and have a phone stuck to your camera constantly uploading them to interns with NX mobile air?

It's fine to suck, but giving baked JPEGs only should be a crime.

The more i look at old pictures, the more i think muh image quality is fucking pointless shit in cameras and photography. At least the image quality of today is sufficient. It's just very sophisticated advertisement of the market.

f/4 is what yields max sharpness, at the center of the frame, which isn't crisp even there.
Here's a 100% from f/4 in a flat perspective. Not a single point in the frame anywhere in it is close to being tack sharp.

>The more I look into this shit it seems like everyone saying bayer offers anywhere near its advertised resolution is on some serious copium
Yeah, digital color photography is inherently algorithmic and approximate, hence why I think digital purists are kinda retarded. With Bayer, your color resolution is 1/4 of your photosite count. If you want to view your scene at a certain size but are not happy with the sensor quality, use a higher megapixel one and downsample to the same size. The more you downsample, the less approximate it gets.

To clarify the size thing, a higher megapixel sensor will have higher per-pixel noise since each pixel is smaller. Thus, it may actually look worse at a per-pixel level though obviously that will be more "zoomed in" compared to the 100% view on a lower megapixel sensor. Where you do see benefits however, is when viewing at the same picture size since the higher megapixel sensor will be sampling that image more finely.

>The more I look into this shit it seems like everyone saying bayer offers anywhere near its advertised resolution is on some serious copium. On the other hand it seems like even people pointing out it isn't perfect also can't get their facts right. For example the site here says removing a bayer filter and shooting monochrome turns a 20MP EOS 6D into 80MP, but that should be impossible, in theory that could only make it a "real" 20MP.
You're right, that's not how it works. 20MP is 20MP. Removing the CFA does make each pixel a whole lot more sensitive though, since it's no longer exposed to just one color.

>>4310433
>Not a single point in the frame anywhere in it is close to being tack sharp.
Looks pretty dern fine to me, chief, considering you're taking a picture of a US dollar bill which is mass produced ink on fabric and isn't gonna be perfectly sharp anywhere itself.

People just have no idea what ISO actually does, and why their images are noisy in the first place.

If you don't know, here's the simple trick. If iso makes your image noisey, you didn't have enough light in the first place. All you have to do is get enough light so that you don't have any crushed blacks in your subject, and then turn iso up to get the level of exposure you want. 50 iso is for film l. There are no sensors with 50 iso as baseline. They are all 100. If your camera has <100 iso as a setting, it is a oost processing trick.

i know how it works, my question is why or how are people obsessing over battery life when:

1. they have more than one most of the time
2. they weigh nothing
3. swapping them takes no time
4. as you said, when using it correctly, it lasts very long

so what is their problem

>>4310103
if you like to leave your camera on all the time and just rely on the power saving time out, or you like to not charge your camera for weeks and weeks, yes battery life will suck
you can easily get 1000-1500 shots under normal shooting conditions and simply turning the camera off when not actively using it
you can keep it topped off through usb charging when taking breaks too
2 batteries should cover a full day of shooting for like 99% of people

>>4310114
That's like asking why people have literal angry meltdowns over video features that are not relevant and have literally no visible benefit unless you work for a netflix original series, or your hobby is pausing and zooming in

Because they enjoy it. That's why. It helps them feel good about their purchase, or their desire to make another purchase.

I kept the same battery in a z6 going for ~8 hours and what finally killed it and required a swap was a 15 minute video, its a nothingburger

>>4310116
>that guy, and we all run into that guy, who randomly starts saying your camera is shit and you should have bought a canon r5 because all of its good points are essential and all of its flaws are irrelevant and user error for even caring about them
Fuck those guys
Yes its literally the same thing with battery life wank, just more money cope. if cameras were free you wouldn't see 1% as much.

Is there any advantage to using CF cards over SD cards in a camera that accepts both? I am not trying to rapid fire 30 successive shots of birds in flight or anything like that.

Use them in my Olympus om1 it’s part of getting that look from that era.
Using my modern Nikon primes on the f100 produces something that looks halfway between film and digital.

Yes, but they'll adapt rather easily to modern mirrorless (DSLRs are S.O.L. though, since the back element gets in the mirror's way). The Takumar 50s are also known for their heavy flaring when wide open. Pic related is f/1.4.

Quantity does not equal quality. Photography is just the degenerated form of cinema. You can take a million photos and they can only hope to be good if they all work towards the theme.

Photographers almost noticed this with winogrand, who took photos so often it was like a random selection of frames from a movie, but they missed the point entirely.

>>4309205
Try to meet people you care about in places you like with your camera. Don't plan anything in particular. If the moment is right, you won't resist snapping a few pictures.

I have a gr iii as a backup camera. You can take that thing anywhere and I do.

Bought it 'open box, like new' 4 years ago thinking I probably overpaid and looking at the prices now it's actually appreciated in the value. Lol.

Thanks YouTube!

Some photography requires sharpness and some doesn't.

I still shoot a lot of film where the contrasting nature of some of the newer lenses just doesn't play well with cheaper film stocks. There vintage is King.

But I also do a lot of night photography out in the moon light mountains sand there anything that's not a Sony g master turns to mush. For example I don't have a very sharp wide angle and always have to sharpen the one I've got in post.

I've also needed sharp lenses the few time I did product work and for digitizing my film.

Seeing the difference between lenses and art until itself. Even lenses from the '60s are sharp enough in the center so slap them onto an aps-c camera and not worry about it too much. It's on edge cases where you begin to see the difference.

thank you for the insights
is the digital sharpened image noticeable in a double blind test against the ultra sharp g master?

>>4309849
Kind of if you use the inbuilt sharpening in Lightroom, it's getting much better though. Some of the newer programs really do give amazing results .

I will say the same thing for blur. It doesn't do much if the background is sharp to begin with but turning a f2.8 portrait into an f1.4 is doable.

What it can't really do is make up for a blurry image because you didn't bring a tripod with you. With some of the new gmasters that you can practically shoot in the dark.
