>>4501150He says that, then he says the z8 isnt good enough for him, then he says the z50ii is the ultimate camera, he says every lens is sharp, he says random
lenses are shit, he says film is 100000mp, he says the iphone is as good as a canon r5, and his raw vs jpeg “hot take” is blatantly incorrect for any year past 2007.
Reading any one part of his website will end in bad advice, which will end in people thinking cameras are WORSE than phones.
The only conclusions a sane and knowledgeable person can draw from this are 1: ken rockwell is so fucking bad at photography he can make a canon r5 look as bad as an iphone 2: ken rockwell can not figure out how to use a nikon designed to do almost everything for you and may not know how to use a computer either 3: ken rockwell is somewhat delusional and considers himself a gear expert despite not actually knowing how to use all his gear
Do the opposite of what ken rockwell says
Buy a cheap ff mirrorless. There is no real, non-autistic reason to use a DSLR or a small sensor.
Buy one prime lens 35-50mm
Understand that most lenses are NOT sharp and buy a good one and only a good one
Ignore zoom lenses if you are not a professional. They are socially inappropriate, massively inconvenient, and range from hideously overpriced to worse quality than a phone. The world has enough frame filling ID pics of everything that is already.
Only ever shoot raw. Never use jpeg. Raw is the point of photography. Your phones raws are better than any DSLRs jpeg.
Never edit a jpeg
Never use any program he recommends - go for darktable or capture one instead
Fear the saturation slider
Only ever lower, never raise, the sharpening level
