>>4376820I'm in NYC lol.
Trust me again, you're overestimating normie opinions. Maybe in your Capitol Hill hipster circlejerk of photography major dropouts, but I work with a bunch of 40-55 year olds at a state job. Out of 34 people we have like 6 with actual cameras and 3 of them are genuinely camera enthusiasts. One has been shooting since he was 16 (he's a old Chinese guy in his late 40s...he has ridiculously good pictures that make anyones jaws drop even pics of 9/11, he mostly shoots Nikon with a Z30/Z7II now), another has a beat to fuck D810 he takes everywhere that the shutter started malfunctioning on, and I have a Z50.
You're missing the point. Most people do not care about cameras. Peak camera sales was right before iPhones got decent with photos probably around 2014-15. And even then most of the shooters I see are using some pos entry level DSLR they bought years ago. But I'm not a yuppie or hipster fag.
