>Nikon D750, D810, and D850 all have almost the exact same image quality as modern mirrorless with less convenience - the only significant difference is slightly worse shadow recovery after ISO 400
>Photographer convenience+build quality has not meaningfully improved past the sony a7c, a7riv, and a7iv, lumix s5ii, Nikon ZF, and Canon R5 and R6II. The A7CII sucks batteries dry for a negligible AF improvement, Z6III and Z8 are half-APSC, R5II is essentially APS-C, A9III has micro four thirds DR for a negligible decrease in e-shutter distortion that never mattered to anyone because mech shutters were always fast enough
>Serious, cinematic video is a solved problem - hollywood still using shit as ancient as the arriflex, stunning award winning films have been shot on the fucking lumix GH2, hugely profitable blockbusters are being shot on a relatively cheap sony FX3 that isn't much better than literally any fucking camera and was only "needed" because heavy handed special effects play better with higher quality video than the audience will ever be able to perceive
>Lense manufacturing so good ttartisan samyang can outdo every classic lens ever made for <$300
>a FULL CENTURY of photography and cinema before that was mostly done on 35mm film that only resolved 12mp on shaky imprecise SLRs and dogshit optics, and the only reason to upgrade from that was more flexibility with changing lighting
Why the fuck are people still buying cameras?
