Just read a thread whereas someone wanted a camera whose functions were controlled by dials and buttons, not menus. Had a budget of $500. As you can guess there really wasn't much of a choice. This, however, got me to thinking. It wasn't that long ago that SLR cameras had three basic controls, ISO, shutter speed, and aperture. In some cases there was a dial that could be used to change exposure + or -. Absolutely amazing photos were made with these cameras. Today we have digital SLRs with dozens of settings to chose from and change. These cameras are also being used to produce amazing photographs. But, IMHO, I contend that while they are equal to they are not any better than what was done before. The real difference and game changer is in PP, not in the product produced by the camera. Then why do we need cameras with so many adjustable functions that for most people are never used let alone understood? Do we really need to have the ability to change dozens upon dozens of camera settings or is this just one more example of manufacturers marketing strategies to keep us buying more and more cameras? A manual only digital SLR camera with four adjustable settings, ISO, shutter speed, aperture and file type (raw or JPEG). Everything else done in PP. What do you think?
