Chrome is one of the first things I disable on my Android devices, and I hate the idea of signing up for any accounts just to access local files.
But Canon welcomed me with a big surprise, and a fuck you, too!

Canon still exists? People still use dedicated cameras? I found Canon hardware to be overrated, scanners to cameras to printers. All shit in one way or another. And their software, my god, the cruft.
Op here pretending phones have the best picture quality.
I don’t need pictures of neutrinos or every individual quark of my cat. We passed the “good enough” stage a long time ago. Point, shoot, digitally hoard pictures for no reason, the end.
I get that, but the post doesn’t try to make an argument on using a camera over the phone camera. There are plenty of cases where the picture quality just doesn’t do. Personally I own s few cameras I use for special locations, parties, holidays, travel, to have the best pictures possible to have long lasting memories.
Even when I carry my gear around, my wife and In-laws take pics with there phones, and that’s ok too.
Good thing that’s not the only thing cameras are used for. Good enough for Jimmy on vacation isn’t good enough for large scale prints, marketing, etc
Yes dedicated cameras are still around. They aren’t going away anytime soon. I really like my Fuji camera.
Canon makes great optics and decent hardware but is pretty bad at everything else.
Fuji is great. I love my X-S20
Having never been a photo nerd or enthusiast, I am in the “good enough” camp. I’ve given up a long time ago on the “metrics bullying” and gatekeeping, electronics have reached such a level of performance and low price, everything is the same to me. If you see neutrinos, great!
Do you ever actually take pictures of anything remotely interesting or worthwhile, or is it just an object you can talk about endlessly and upgrade continuously?
It’s like audio, at some point is it about listening to music or buying new speakers?
Have I mentioned I’m old?
Photos like these aren’t going to be possible on a phone camera. There’s still a lot of physical limitations to phones, namely low light and high aperture glass. Due to space constraints you’re extremely limited with sensor and glass size, which is where professional cameras still blow phones out of the water.
If all you’re doing is taking selfies and pictures of things you see around you then a phone is fine, but once you’re beyond that, it’s much more efficient to go to a dedicated camera.
Who’s the one bullying and gatekeeping here?
I’m not a camera nerd either, but I recognize that there’s people that need professional hardware either for a professional use or an obsessive hobby (either photog or other electronics or optics work). If a cell phone is “good enough” for me, that doesn’t mean it’s good for a specialist. Just like pretty much everything else in life.
imagine going into a thread about a hobby you’re not into where hobbyists are discussing their hobbyist gear, and just taking a big shit all over them because you personally don’t get it.
Then please explain it.
i’m not a photographer, i don’t know anything. but also i’m not the one pompously asserting that good enough for my purposes ought be good enough for anyone, nor am i the one being a dismissive ass about multiple hobbies over it.
people are allowed to like things without it making logical sense to others, you’d do well to get over it.
This is the “mildlyinfuriating” sub, not some dedicated camera sub. If you see me there, then you can complain.
“people are allowed to like things without it making logical sense to others”
Then don’t complain publicly when it doesn’t work? I don’t know?
“it’s technically allowed” is the worst possible defense for shitty behavior.
“Shitty behavior”?? Get a grip.
