To them it's not about taking the best photos, it's about having the most technically capable gear.
In the traditional art world, it's the equivalent of sperging out over anatomical drawings and flexing about having the most accurate anatomy, but not actually fucking making meaningful artworks with the skills, nothing with composition, nothing with the use of color, nothing with meaning behind it.
Except here they don't even have skill, just consumerist impulse, so they're a lower breed of autist.
Just as anatomy fags can't comprehend the idea that Edward Hopper inspired generations (even if they don't know it -- if you were inspired by film noir, you were inspired by Hopper) without paying much attention to anatomy in his paintings, camera fags are lost to the art of photography.
Sometimes the self aware fag will try to argue that photography isn't art or whatnot. That's just them outing themselves as autistic af.
