my man did you miss the mark. if this video was aimed at anyone it's you. the improvements in camera tech are not done by you. the invitation is open to upgrade yourself and not the gear. and it's applicable to all fields and hobbies
i'd love to hear from someone who can voice the type of photo they are unable to get in 2026
There are two variables, the human and the machine. The idea that only an experienced, high-performing human deserves to use high-grade machines was debunked long ago. All but the lower-experienced and/or lower-performing humans will benefit from high-grade machines. Whether the output of the person+machine is economically viable needs to be assessed for the particular person and machine.

s#*^'s funny AF. all the videos are on that channel. it's AI narration slop, but someone with painful amounts of insight into niche subjects is clearly behind it. people are free to disagree, but those people also probably think lengthy dialogues about punchlines are what make jokes good...

I believe I gave quite clear explanations of what each generation of my upgrades allowed me to get compared to the ones prior, also giving an example of a type of shot that I cannot reliably / conveniently get with my current gear, as niche as it may be. Maybe you should read my message again.

I like this thought it permeates everywhere that apprentice do not get access to latest tech so they learn technique first. There's a shift of course, we don't require manual screwdrivers before giving out battery tools, but there's a certain 'dexterity' that needs to develop regardless. unfortunately photography also has the art aspect as well

While we cannot deny that equipment is necessary to make photographs, that doesn’t mean that every level of equipment obsession leads to better photographs, and it is only rarely the most direct path to that goal.
It is useful to understand technical matters about photography, and useful to keep up to date on new developments in the medium. But if the goal is to make excellent photographs, the incremental differences among different products make far, far less of a difference than other. non-gear-related things.
But, hey, we’re all susceptible to being fascinated by new stuff, right?

I found it funny but not as much as the EDC video in the series, something that was a hobby for me at one point before I realised for pretty much the same reasons presented, that all I needed was a tiny swiss army knife and gave everything else away.
