Modern cameras are remarkable pieces of technology, able to do things that we could only dream about just a few years ago, and they only continue to get better. And while they are fantastic tools, they are not inherently necessary to create compelling images. This great video serves as a useful reminder that even entry-level tools can create professional photos.
Coming to you from First Man Photography, this interesting follows him as he shoots with a Canon T7i. The T7i was an entry-level DSLR released in 2017, featuring an APS-C sensor that produced 24-megapixel images. Compared to current landscape photography cameras that feature full frame or even medium format sensors and often push past 50 megapixels, its specs seem relatively pedestrian. But sometimes, we can get caught up in chasing the latest gear, and what should be a means to an end becomes the end itself. The truth is that there are absolutely advantages to newer gear, and it can enable shots that would not be possible otherwise. However, we vastly overestimate how often that is the case and significantly underestimate how often we really just need to work on our technique or exploring our creativity. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
I agree! i still like shooting on my old Nikon D200!
In general I agree, but let's not forget the landscape capabilities of a 4X5 or 8X10 large format film camera. In a whole other league entirely.
