To me it seems like every feature Sony brings forth in their cameras seems to be replacing the skill or dedication that used to be needed to make a good photograph.
Can’t be arsed to time your shots? Don’t worry global shutter will basically let you shoot video. Don’t want to bother getting focus right? No worries, it’ll track the eye of a peregrine falcon mid flight.
I can’t help but think certain things are intrinsic to actually being a photographer and the over production of these cameras features takes away from the skills required to be good.
My 2 cents.
I see where you’re coming from, and the condescension from many people here is predictable. But another way to see it: if you can’t compose to save your life, if you don’t understand colour, if you don’t know what makes a photo interesting…then 120FPS and global shutter ain’t going to help you.
All these incremental improvements do is make it easier to get certain kinds of pictures which were previously difficult, if not impossible, to get. That doesn’t mean those pictures will be any good. It’ll just be playing to the gallery. However, when you combine a photographer’s eye with the possibility to get previously impossible shots, that’s what justifies the new technology.
I suppose, thank you for being reasonable in your response.
