There's a lot more to a photograph than camera settings and mediocre, over-saturated, post-processing.

I hate everything about this, if all you want to do is point and click, use a smart phone, why would anyone pay $99 dollars a month for exactly the same thing?

The fact that you can't even choose what you think are your best photo's really pisses me off too, who decides? An AI? What's the algorithm to decide what makes a good photo?

Also, the editing on those snaps are bad, same old cookie cutter hipster shit.

Yep, there's a fully functional Samsung NX underneath.

This whole thing is so ridiculous. Who are they targeting with that 'idea'? Hipsters who want to 'experience a film-like feeling'? Hell, if you want to feel that feel then get a film camera or if it needs to be a digital at least get a Leica M-D.

>$99/month for the camera and a book
>$1 for each picture taken
>"your best photos selected" ..what if those are the ones I didn't like?

This thing is going to fail even harder than Lytro did with their weird cameras.

Instagrammers and rich Californians who want to consume conspicuously. The fact that they send the photos to your phone (and not an email or a dropbox/cloud hosting service instead) should tell you this much.

It's hard to say if this niche will be lucrative or not, as they've never really tried something like this before. I'm willing to bet this company folds in six months without a Kardashian endorsement.

Now, a good startup would be an instant camera which sends a digital version to your phone, as well as printing to instant film, since kiddos take photos of the instant film prints and post them online already.

I wonder if people are retarded enough to spend $99/month on a camera.

By comparison: my D800 was about $3000 and should easily last 10 years.
So that's no more than $25/month.

But then people easily spend $800+ for a smartphone if the price is hidden inside a contract.

The cameras literally fall apart, homegirl. Even with very light use (10,000 frames a year) the shutter will die in ten years, and those are usually the last thing to go. A few years before that, the dials will stop working, the grip will come lose, and (most importantly) the sensor starts to degrade and you get hot pixels everywhere.

Source: I have a D300 that is pushing 8 years and I doubt it'll last another 2.

If it gets the kadashian endorsement it'll probably survive.

This camera isn't for /p/. And as outrageous as it is, i can see the benefit.
Yes the big con is the price but really people don't want to sit and edit photos.
Maybe the camera gets shared between mum and daughter?
I hope they alter their concept a bit, if you just pay someone to edit your photos, without the camera gimmick it might be more profitable?

All in all you still have to compose a good photo and i don't see the camera doing that for you

I see this getting big tbqh. For $99 you get a dece camera, and some "robot" to make your pics look pretty great. Everyone here has spent way more on a lens you rarely even use. No editing to work on so you have all that extra time to keep shooting too. You can focus on the heuristics of photography instead of the technicals.

Wrong. You get a *shit* camera and lens given that it is ~$1200 per year (people here mostly can't seem to spare $300/year, if it was $1200 we'd constantly see shots from great FF cameras with the best lenses).

And thinking you can get unlimited and decent post for only $99 this month also is naive.

The success of this company all depends on the subscription model.

If they allow you to subscribe for just one month, then you can just pay $99 for a camera, take all the photos your heart desires at a wedding, send them off, and boom, you get quality photos sent back.

The editing on the photos is shit, but to most people, it looks really good. The average person sees bright/bold colors without noticing the other shit elements of the editing.

In any respect, their whole market will depend on whether or not it can overthrow the event photographer industry. If it cannot do that, I really don't think they will survive.

It can only attract the rich lazy photographer niche, most of it is part of the phone photographers.
I don't think people will do the extra move to get an extra camera when they already have their phone and vsco cam installed.
I think this is destined to flop, no real crowd to gather and not very competitive prices.

Honestly this subscription model actually seems pretty smart.

Take your average /p/ poster for example. They might go out to take photos 2-3 days out of a month, and they don't know how to edit, how to judge what is good or bad, and they certainly aren't shooting in full manual. Considering we are supposed to be the board where people are actually interested in photography, an average schlub may see this as a great deal.
