I tend to shoot whatever is more fun to shoot with. I have an A7 and an old SLR that are collecting dust while most of the time I am using a XP1 or a film RF.

The way I see it: Yes, new tech advances can make a camera a great one, capable of capturing images with insane amount of detail, DR and on and on... That is *if* I press the shutter and light hits it sensor; otherwise, it is just another piece of junk.

I find digital cameras have been, for a couple of years now, quite capable of getting excellent shots. For me it is no longer about tech specs as it is about fun factor. Mood affects my creative workflow more than anything else. It has to be above all a camera that *gets out of the way*.

+1... not that this sentiment is that unusual, but I have to empathetically agree. IQ is more or less of a given, it's all about what you most enjoy using and what is going to give you the most good shots.
