     @cell That said I often wonder how worth it those cameras are, specially if you're just going to use it to post online where quality is going to be crunched.
     And even outside of the money, they seem like a massive hassle to carry.

     @RedTechEngineer @cell You can get decently priced bridge cameras that spit out a raw file, I have one here and bridge basically means you divide the weight by roughly 5 compared to a DSLR.
     And compact/phone cameras are the only ones relying on cropping for zooming.

     @lanodan @cell while I don't know what exactly you guys are referring to, one of the big value ads is if you are going to edit a photo, getting the best quality you can is important. You don't want to be working with a dirty compression artifact image, edit it, and then compress it down again, and then it probably gets crushed down a third time by the social media platform.
     
     You get alot more control over depth of field or shutter speed. Larger sensors produce less noise which not only looks better but also compresses better.
     
     Getting to zoom in with a lens is alot better than cropping and losing resolution.
     
     Filters provide artistic value.
     
     The mirror flapping around in my dslr makes my dog do that cute head tilt thing
     
     Also for some reason practically every camera company is japanese, and as we know thing ☹️ thing Japan 😮
     
     Also they discriminate against Europeans by giving them inferior models while keeping the better ones to themselves and American markets which is incredibly based.
     Or artificially cucking them with 50fps max video recording while american and Asian versions of the same camera have a 30,50,60fps software toggle.
     
     Much better image stabilization so you don't get blurries.
