It's really too bad that people look at images mostly on their phones or other small screens. It's also a shame that people don't realize how much better their images would be with a zoom lens, larger sensor, and LESS processing.

I'm sure that many people DO realise that (technically) 'better' images are possible with better lenses and sensors , and less processing. But I suspect that many are satisfied with what shows up on the small screens of their pads, with little or no processing time.

That was much the same as the recognition by George Eastman that simplicity was a seller.

The cost and complexity of producing excellent poster sized images may not be considered relevant if the final product sought is simply a postcard sized image on a screen.
