>>4352237>no need to compose, 30-60 megapixels gives almost unlimited room to crop laterThis was the original standard for photography. 120 and 4x5 were relatively small and 35mm was still considered croppable. Low res digital was a massive step back. That's why so much old photography was so good. They focused on the moment instead of autistically correct framing and cropped literally every photo during the printing process.
>no need to nail exposure, 14 EV sensors can forgive anythingThis was also the original standard for photography. Negative film can be overxposed by 6 stops or underexposed by 3 in the average scene. It was normal for people to just guess exposure and only worry about how bright the flash was compared to the ambient.
Photographers are getting worse because they forgot that photography used to be basically 100% post and focus so much on the camera settings that they forget the photo part, then pixel peep while editing so they're afraid to crop deep or recover shadows.
