but it's still a fact that the sheer volume of competition means that the photographer from 30 years ago can't compete in todays market - assuming (s)he hasn't adapted.

I met an 82 year old...

Ansel Adams didn't have to compete with 300K photographers in his local area all vying for the same client(s).
In 2017 you better be quick with your turn-around times. People want their prints...

As cute and Sci-Fi as this all is, it's not going to be likely mainly as it serves no purpose [to the programmer].

Bladerunner is an interesting fiction because it crosses a boundary that will likely never be crossed.

Simon Cowell doesn't need to single handedly downgrade the human condition by releasing the same formulaic drivel just in time for Christmas every year, but he does.

The argument is that while AI...

In both of those situations a computer, or a robot, or a drone could capture a representation of something happening, but would the resulting image carry the same gravitas? Would it have the same...

It's easy for anyone to create an image at all with photography, yes. Even a computer can do this automatically.

I feel sorry for the guy - this kind of fight has little to nothing to do with anyone else. Wikipedia shouldn't have flared this up and the photographer should have called it conceptual art. Do you...

Everything is insane. Insane new product. Insane software. Insane sunset.

A lot has changed in the 19 years since DP Review was set up. DPR has adapted and grown in more positive ways than most. 7 Million readers can't be wrong, eh?

However, if you're after photography...

This could be great option, all being good, on a Fuji XT2. Slightly wider than the 56, slightly faster. I tend to manual focus anyway with the 56 in some portrait situations, though it has to be...

So you're a fairly bitter and nasty person then. Or was that meant as a "joke"?

Oooh Errr! Saucy!
etc.

Hilarious.

It's not pornography. It's photographing someone having sex at their request. At the least it's 'Boudoir', but it's not porn.

I think you're right. I'd do it but it's probably a bit out of my locale, being in the Uk and all... honestly, if that's what they want, they've obviously thought about it. I think it's sweet, but...

@miggylicious Yes, Canon do have great ergonomics, & a lot of legacy lenses to go with their established full frame DSLRs. What they don't have, is a full frame mirrorless system which is kind of...
