Personally, I have an allergy to Polin, his silly theatrics & his constant clickbaiting.
I have to say also, as one who studied photography in the mid-sixties that this never ending quest for more pixels, faster fps leaves me quite cold. I have always dreamed of having the camera so small that it could be implanted in my brain so that the image in my mind's eye can be recomposed, post-processed and sent wirelessly to a virtual printer & sent back to me mounted & framed in the desired dimensions by priority post.
All this to say that the best tech means zilch if the person behind the camera is neither talented nor inspired.
Just like the great composers (let's just mention a few Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert) are still appreciated today not for their instruments but for their time transcending compositions, Adams, Karsh, White, Lange, Arbus, HCB, Capa Avedon (to name just a few) are still relevant not for their limited gear but for their timeless creations.
There, I said it. This old man feels better now. The Z6 & the Z50 will no doubt be my last toys, but my D200 & my D5600 are still relevant today, so is my Nikon FE with its manual lenses.
