Camera Technology Has Massively Improved. So Why Hasn’t Photography?

I love it when photographers say something like, "It's not about the tech. " That's truly wrong -- a pinhole camera can't shoot sports in the same way that a Sony a9 III can. But there's something to be said for the wisdom of what Zack Arias said many years ago: what matters is the moron behind the camera.

And this I feel is also very true. But if camera technology has massively improved on the past two decades, why hasn't photography? Why has photography instead become all about copying one another and repeating whatever gets us the most views? Obviously, the attention economy is a major problem when it comes to photographers making innovative things if that's what they're targeting. But the truth is that social media and the attention economy aren't the real world. What instead matters more are how photos are looked at off of social media. .

Here are three reasons we're very impressed, and a couple reasons why we're still left a bit ambivalent: What we like: The a9 continues to track the subject's eye when all it sees is his profile. dpreview.com »

New Perovskite Sensor Triples Resolution and Light Gathering by Stacking Pixels

A new image sensor has been developed that uses a new crystalline material that is very similar to silicon. It's called perovskite and unlike traditional sensors which dedicate separate pixels for red, green, and blue color recognition, perovskite sensors can ditch color filters entirely, which allows them to triple resolution and light-gathering capabilities.
