A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

It has nothing to do with Sony’s departments finding a middle ground and compromising. This is a result of investors not being happy enough with Sony’s revenue numbers. They want Sony’s camera division to make more money because ✨capitalism✨. It’s that simple. So, they’re testing the market with new ideas on how to generate more revenue. This here is one of them. If enough people buy this product in a given time period, they’ll start adopting this model for future products as well because investors love a dynamic business model. Try and understand what it means to greedy people if they manage to sell a very basic feature at a high price. That means they can charge even more for more complex features, which is their end-goal. Because they have the data to prove that customers are willing to pay for it. And that’s why people are upset.
