Classic Camera Irony

[brian_m.1]

<p>Ponder this. Have you lost a film camera ever? In 40 years of photography my answer is no. Fast forward to digital, I've had 5 digital cameras, mostly of point and shoot variety, and I only have one now. The rest either broke, or were lost or stolen. </p>

<p>My local camera store gets lots of used digital cameras every time a manufacture releases a new model. They all seem to sell after a couple of months so I guess someone must be using these older digital bodies.</p>

<p>I think the real irony is that photographers are often so consumed by the process that they forget photography for most people is about the content, so it stands to reason that there will be a large market for older digital cameras as a tool that's adequate to do the job. </p>

<p>It reminds me of audiophiles; they rarely talk about musical performance because to them the fidelity is far more important. </p>
