During many years of more or less successful shooting, I have convinced myself that the best camera is the one you have with you. No matter what type, it's important that it takes a picture that can be the only one, the best one.
Very important for me is the high quality of the photo, which a few years ago could be obtained only with a SLR. I was carrying a backpack with lenses, which in many situations was a big burden and inconvenience, but I was telling myself that the most important are pictures and you have to sacrifice yourself. But often I was in a situation where there was an opportunity to make a great situational photo and I did not have a camera with me, because it was impossible to take a backpack - for example, riding a bicycle or at a concert where cameras are forbidden. And slowly I was born with the conviction that you must also have a second - a small pocket camera that you can always have with you. After all, it's probably better to take a picture of lower quality than not do it at all. Some of the photos that won prizes at photo contests were made with compact cameras. Sometimes the best camera is a mobile phone that is always in your pocket. The quality of the photo is in the case of photography only form, the content is an interesting topic, composition, event. Of course, the best picture is when it has all these aspects and is also of good quality, has beautiful vividness and bokeh, you can print it in a large format, which results from the use of a SLR camera and a good lens. One can then try to compare it to painting - the use of such a lens is like good quality paint and it is easier to "paint" a beautiful picture that has "something" that is even difficult to describe in words.
With today's digital photography development, we already have a lot of cameras with small dimensions with APSC matrix, offering the quality of photos as with a SLR. Such a camera fits in a pocket, a handbag or in a small bag and going to work, for a walk or shopping, we can always take it with us.
There is no perfect camera yet, certain laws of physics are hard to fool for now. A sharp and noiseless picture in a dark room, pictures of wild animals or athletes in motion can not be done today without using a DSLR or mirrorless camera with a long-range, high-speed, heavy lens. Certainly, the development of technology will go in such a direction that it would be possible to make such difficult photos with a small, handy camera. And such a camera will be the best in every aspect, not only because it will always be at hand.
Do you agree with me?
Nice day!
