>The only cope here is from DSLR dinosaurs.
And there it is. Pat yourself on the back for the camera you chose. You're so progressive and special and surely your work is 1,000x better than a dinosaur with a DSLR.

>You will never have blackout free shooting.
Don't care. Blackouts >>>>>> lag and I'm not in the market for an R3 right now, one of only three cameras that don't suffer from continuous shooting EVF lag. It's a great fucking camera and I'm sure it's really nice to shoot with, but what I've got doesn't hinder me from the sports/wildlife/action shots I want at all, so I'm fine.

>the time where the AF sensor is useless.
I don't need it to be useful during blackout as long as it catches up with the mirror down. It does.

>Your DSLR in OVF mode will never even match the Sony A9's (released 2017, updated with eye AF and real time tracking) tracking performance.
Distance tracking? It absolutely matches any mirrorless. Keeping an AF point on the subject? I'm sure letting a computer handle this is convenient but I have no trouble doing it myself.

>You will forever cope and seethe that your outdated tech has been replaced
I couldn't give a fuck. I corrected you on a false technical claim and now you're going off on a butthurt child rant about "muh progress muh dinosaurs!" Who made your mirrorless? Sony? Sony will never love you no matter how many forum posts you make about the vast superiority of your shiny new mirrorless bought on a credit card. You can get a million dinosaurs to switch and you will still die alone. Sony won't be there to hold your hand or tell you that you're loved.

>>4030420
>I corrected you on a false technical claim
Where? This one?
>>4030305
>>autofocus improvements that mirrorless cameras make could be integrated into DSLRs as well
>>Not if you're using the OVF.
>Yes if you're using the OVF. You just need an imaging sensor where the AE sensor would traditionally go.
You cannot get the AF performance of a mirrorless if you are using an OVF with a slapping mirror that prevents AF ~20ms every frame. For the 1DXMIII at max speed this would be 16fps*20ms per second which is 320ms per second where the AF CANNOT function. The R3 can do 60fps AF and tracking calculations per second while the Z9 can do 120fps. A DSLR is PHYSICALLY unable to match this as it wastes ~32% of every second flapping a mirror and is unable to AF during that time. Even if the DSLR can do 200fps AF calculation it still cannot account for the ~32% of info it cannot see due to the mirror flap.

>>4030375
>Admits DSLR is dead & irrelevant
>Tries to claim that features we had 6 years ago on mirrorless might one day come to DSLR
>Thinks af from the 80's works on the same principles as af on a modern DSLR

That about wraps you up bud.

>>4030420
>Ovf = no lag
The shutter lag on a d800 is longer than the shutter lag + evf lag combined on an a7ii, let alone something relevant.

>It is as good at af as mirrorless, no I've never used an a1 or an a9, but I'm sure my dinosaur is better >:(

Yikes, copium.

>you can get a bnw dev kit for 50 dollars.

Good idea although in reality a basic film development kit is going to cost you $100 and a basic film scanner is going to cost you at least $150. So $250 total. If you want to get photos that are similar in quality to lab scans then you need to spend more on a scanner so think at least $500 total investment. At $500 you are better off giving your film to a lab until you reach the point where you are shooting more than 10 135 rolls a month.

>>4029372
Not 100€ and sensor doesn't matter if he's going to showcase images at 1080px long, he only needs to check if the denoising inside the camera is good or not.

>>4029625
>Not 100€
can be found lower than that, i found mine in shit shape for 80€

also its going to be the same denoising since its same era sony

>>4029623
A Patterson is $30, tf-5 is $15, liquid developers run around $10 but you can splurge on hc110 for $35 if you want and get as many uses as rodinal with slightly less grain. The scanner is the problem but a used v600 is $189 all day on eBay.

slow, probably won't be good enough to track subjects in movement like kids or animals, but I'm only going to use it for still subjects so whatever

forget it, this uses the old screw motor and whirrs too much

unless you have a stabilized body or godly technique, wouldn't recommend. I was shooting a bit yday from the balcony on a cloudy afternoon and was having a hard time getting sharp shots even at f/4 without bumping the ISO, will need to work on it
>loca
apparently it's a problem with high contrast subjects, but I haven't really seen any so far, just be mindful of your subject and composition I guess. I doubt it will be worse than the 180/2.8, that thing was ridiculously prone to it on digital
>close focusing
2.5m min focus, forget it. I hear it's decent with extension rings or if you pop in a raynox close focus filter, will try it one day that I'm not super depressed and actually want to leave the house

doable, but good technique is required

Getting into photography has never at any point in history been cheaper. You have a plethora of digital cameras available going back 15 years now. There is fundamentally no reason to buy a brand new camera today. If you want to buy a new latest gen digital camera today you end up paying a 2x to 6x markup on what you can get on the used market, referring to cameras from just a few generations ago. The only reason people spend big bucks for new cameras is to satiate their ego, or if you are working professionally and you can justify having the new thing out.

For the most part, what people don't realise is that most camera manufacturers have at this point run out of ideas to make their cameras technically any better. Camera tech has basically reached its peak. Camera companies are simply now just rehashing the same thing over and over again but calling it by a new name. The move to mirrorless is a good example.

>>4028985
Because they use plastic in the lens elements and the only metric they aim to optimise is sharpness, which leads to no micro contrast and horrible rendering.

>>4032351
>no micro contrast
not a real thing, sorry you fell for the meme

>>4032335
>Getting into photography has never at any point in history been cheaper
This unironically. Just go to the canon museum and check how much bodies and lenses cost in the past when adjusted for inflation.

>>4027059
Cameras have reached a point where they are doing a lot of heavy lifting for people who’s photos would probably suck if they actually had to depend on themselves knowing the camera

>>4023837
The photobook is not dead. Plenty of professional photographers publish their work in photobooks. See photo attached... that sold out immediately.

It's rather the case that people have transitioned from physical photo books to digital photo frames.

In reality people will end up loosing their precious digital photos due to the inherent problems of longterm digital hardware storage and incompatible or corrupt software. It's then at that point where people will ask themselves what alternatives exist to better hold onto their photos. The conclusion will be to go physical by printing photos (digital or film) and making physical family photo albums again aka photobooks.

It really is unfortunate that essentially an entire generation's worth of photos will be forever lost due to the transition from film to digital. And no one will recognise it as a problem until it is too late.

i love taking pictures, and that's about it

never cared much about my subjects except when taking pictures, that's when i get into flow with things around myself and really enjoy their presence

i tried doing it for a living but money was not enough to support myself and photography as a hobby, probably related to the fact that i was poor for 3rd world country standard
my current job/career gets me enough money so i can take pics as a hobby

i had my pictures displayed in museums and local art galleries when i was doing it professionally; even though it did command nice prices, it was rather erratic as income source so i quit; nonetheless it was pleasing to be able to show and get feedback on my pics from curators and very dear photographers such as sebastião salgado

Mechanical cameras require spares sometimes, if you cant get one, you'll have to make one, and now youre in the same pickle as in a digital camera repair.

Meanwhile digital cameras might require board repair, which is actually pretty easy compared to sourcing a 50 year old spare without gutting another camera because electrical components are off the shelf parts.

So they're about on par with eachother, just two different types of repairs.

>Can buy camera from the 1950s today and it works just fine
Survivorship bias. The cameras from the 1950s that still work fine today are the ones that were high end and built like tanks and/or babied.

E.g., that Nikon F in the op pic was released in 1959 for a price of $329. With inflation, that's around $3200 today. If you buy a $3200 camera today, it'll probably hold up pretty well, too.

If you actually spend a significant amount of time scrounging flea markets, thrift stores, and antique malls for old cameras, you'll quickly discover that while SOME old cameras that were well taken care of are still in great condition, there are just as many with gummed up and unusable shutters, corroded battery compartments, dead light meters, etc. And if you're looking at the old folding cameras, good luck finding one with an intact bellows and a shutter that'll fire, much less fire at the requested speed.

It's true that modern cameras are less repairable, but it's not because repairability has become unimportant to photographers; it's because other things have become more important to photographers and they're mutually exclusive. You can't have an all mechanical camera without sensitive electronics that also has the full set of autoexposure modes, autofocus, bracketing, motor drive, etc. If I have to choose between a camera where I'll definitely get the shot today and a camera where I'll probably miss the shot but where I'll still be able to miss the shot with it equally well in 20 years, I'm going to go with the former.
