Some cameras are being sold and marketed for video...

The Canon G7X is being advertised for, "Digital 4K Vlogging Camera and Vertical 4K Video Support." Oh, and it also takes still images, but no one cares about that, eh? The truth is that photographers who are on top of things have realized that their phones are as good as or better than the G7X for photos and won't bother buying one. The only reason the G7X is more useful for video is because the it has better storage options for video because mobile phone makers are deliberately crippling storage in their devices.

As I've said on here before, and to other people... I just prefer the feel of actually handling a camera vs. using a cell phone... It's something tactile to me

I think the best camera to use is the one that inspires you to use it. If that means humping a 4x5 view camera up the side of a mountain then I salute you. I think those photographers who take the craftsman approach to photography will always be picky about their tools. For those who just want a quick and dirty image, expensive point-and-shoot cameras have become a losing proposition when you consider the quality and versatility of mobile phone cameras.

Speaking of Canon point-and-shoots, I bought a Canon G1-X over a decade ago as it was the first pocket camera of theirs to feature an APS-C sized sensor that produced marvelous images. It was a great camera then and now and I still enjoy using it every so often.











I have gotten a lot of great images with it over the years and expect to get many more.
