>>4305733It's because forced iphone hdr, exposure stacking, and the pre-burst auto-selection (instead of taking a photo when you take a photo, iphones try and guess when you actually wanted to take the photo, lol) made the normies wake up and they now want cameras that take real photos instead of AI enhanced ones. The fucking iphone five has more soul in its camera than the 15, but it was also forcibly deprecated by the communications cabal.
However, real cameras that are nice are as expensive as they ever were, so normies keep climbing the ladder down buying everything, anything, that takes a more honest image than their phone. And cameras are much, much longer lived than gearfags like to imagine (10mp ccd DSLRs like the k10d still outdo phones in the ways that matter), they just lack the versatility factor of newer cameras. Not like that matters when your brand new iphone 15 pro max looks like shit at every print larger than 5x7 (people with decent taste can spot the phone print even at 5x7) and a DSLR with at least 10mp produces amazing, tack sharp, really real looking 8x10s. Even a 1" PNS is better than a phone at that. 35mm film is like a 24mp, full frame foveon just with an expendable sensor that costs money to read out from, very desirable.
Of course:
>BUT THIS ANDROID PHONE HAS A GREAT CAMERABut normies are not using that because apple created a compatibility nightmare which means android = can't be friends for a lot of people.
Essentially cameras are like wine, and phones are like fruit juice flavored alcoholic seltzer. Even cheaper wine is still better than that shit and for most people, 99% as good as top shelf stuff. And the old stuff stays good for a long ass time, possibly getting better. Some retards will say "but a truly still gets you drunk", and yet, no one's fucking buying it. There's more to life than just getting drunk.
