>>4380038>"Dying market"No, reverting, if you pay attention to what died and what didn't.
We are leaving the golden age of democratized quality photography (the DSLR and large sensor PNS craze)
There's a point to be made about "real photography" having associations with the wealthy. To even appreciate high quality photos, you need wall space for large high quality prints, in spaces where they can be seen up close, and you can not own poorfag PCs with low res screens or else you can't enjoy your megapixels at all...
It's also reverted to being a profession any gearfag can enter. The sheer amount of "professional" photographers and videographers who are LITERALLY just a STEM bro with a hobby and an expensive FF mirrorless+f2.8 zooms rig and no artistic talent for lighting etc currently exists because phones are worse than the cheap DSLRs people used to use for family get-togethers, and they keep getting worse with more AI processing, more skin smoothing, more forced HDR, and more forced fake vibrance, which makes them look noticeably worse than anything shot on a real camera except deep focus, 24-28mm motion blurred b&w street shitting. Just like the days when most people had an awful film PNS that was, like phones, only good for street photography/lomography and to be a professional you merely had to buy a 645 SLR with autofocus and a tilty swively flash on a bracket. Even Ken Rockwell was a pro wedding photographer in those days.
We're back to that because most people only have the super shitty PNS (phone). I've heard of some really, really talentless artists here, and elsewhere, actually having shot events for pay. Fucking cinefag even shot events for pay. SUAGR shot events for pay. FUCKING HOW? Everyone elses cameras kind of suck now, that's how!
Reminder: Sony is selling shittons of ZVE1s because of their automagic digital gimbal and on camera color grading making it easy for non-videographers to just consoom and start charging plebs for their shoddy work.
