What sorts of problems have you been able to fix with these faulty cameras and what haven't you been able to fix?

What were your main reasons for upgrading/ changing cameras?

H Did you get the shutters replaced or was that too expensive?

Just wondering why you keep so many cameras. Is it because they have different features you sometimes need?

I'm also curious about how easily cameras break and how have people broken their cameras (if they ever have )?

I've been contemplating upgrading my camera recently and was curious about how often you all replace or upgrade your cameras. Is it a regular thing for you, or do you tend to stick with the same one for a long time? And what do you usually do with your old cameras when you upgrade?

Yes, the modular phone is one example where it has struggled to take off (but is still improving) but there are many examples of where modularity has been successful such as desktop computers. I was wondering if anyone knew any examples in photography ( obviously not just cameras with detachable...

I'm curious to know if anyone here has had any experience with modular cameras or if you've heard of any models currently on the market. It seems like a fascinating idea, giving photographers the ability to tailor their gear to specific needs. Imagine easily swapping out sensors for different...

I would bet that you would struggle to tell the difference between an image taken on a film camera and an AI which uses style image transfer to emulates film

Could you not argue that about digital photos in general? They aren't photographs because they aren't brought to life from a light sensitive film they are just a digital interpretation of light

I agree that most emulator software at the moment still looks fake. What are your thoughts on using AI for creating more realistic effects? And do you think that in the future phones with heavy post processing will be almost indistinguishable from authentic cameras photos?

I understand that it takes many years to master photography and your equipment. That doesn't mean that I cant start somewhere and improve. When I first picked up my camera I took some pretty average photos ( as I expected) but over the past year or so I have improved.

Can I ask Keith, it seems you like film, would you consider using/ have you used the film camera emulators available on phones that give a similar aesthetic and even sometimes user experience ( to some extent)?

Sorry Dale could you explain what you mean here to a beginner photographer please?

What is it about the user experience that you don't like with phone photography? Just wondering after so much money has been invested by these massive companies (Apple, google) to make phone photography just as good as a proper cameras in terms of user experience and end product.
