Yes, but the best camera is the one you have with you when you need it.

BTW What are you calling expensive and what do you like to take photos of?



I would rather not say as it could reveal my identity.
I take photos like anyone else - mostly when out walking with my friends when we take a dog for a walk.
I also take technical shots at work &
I've even done photo stacking with Helicon focus software
for closeups & pictures of the night sky.

What do you do?

but everything from landscape to portraits.

Do you have any L lenses? The quality is remarkably better than kit and they're a good investment as they will last for 10 years.



No I don't:

I have so much photography equipment that I won't talk about here.
I don't want to buy any more.

It appears to be milder than Gordon's usual invective.

Gordon doesn't like his flowery back-of-public-toilet-door prose sanitized.

Love film and like digital but to be honest I don't have a frame big enough to be able to tell the difference.

Blowing it up to the size of a wall IMO is a meaningless exercise unless you are in the 0.02% of people who need to do that and still a digital image is more than satisfactory even if an expert can tell the difference. As pointed out the Lenz aberration becomes the main limiting issue anyway.

Stay focused folks, no personal confrontations

Hi Bias - you're getting distracted by megapixels.

The true quality of a camera is in it's lens.
A standard DSLR with a kit lens with a 10 MByte  APS-C 22.2mm x 14.8mm sensor 5.7 micron pixel size
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_1000D

will take better pictures than a 41 M pixel mobile phone camera with
a little pea lens. 1.12 micron pixel size
e.g

http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_lumia_1020-5506.php


The larger pixels have more dynamic range.

You are also forgetting that electronic pixels have up to
100 x more sensitivity than film.
That means faster shots with less blurring in high light &
less exposure time for night targets.




Ok, I'll reveal the truth, I love developing film just as much as I love exposing film, but we all know that having to develop and scan film is the big disadvantage over digital. That said, my compact digital cameras ranging from 4MP to 15MP are pretty useless wide open and for detail in highlights

I found myself constantly setting exposure to 1/2 or even 1 stop underexposed in "Manual" to achieve something anywhere near acceptable. If I was to carry on with digital, I'd need to dish out 3-4 grand at least, because I wouldn't trust anything less. Then again you don't really know what you'd get for 3k-4k until you tried it, then it's too late, pot luck I think

My best film camera, a mint Bronica ETR Si, cost me $450, a camera that cost around $2,000 perhaps when new. A tank of a thing with aperture priority, motor wind, TTL flash exposure, mirror lock-up, a metered finder and interchangeable lenses. lol what else would you want?
