The new gear gets all the excitement and brings some notable improvements. However, I somewhat feel that the little incremental updates the wonderful people at Adobe (and presumably elsewhere!) bring out carry far more weight at least in my line of work.
1. Noise. My camera is the same, but there is less and less of it visible after updates, even if I go back to the same RAW files!
2. Dynamic range, colours. Same here. It may be is not as straightforward, but say if you are willing to fire a couple frames you have almost limitless potential. Plastic fantastic grad filters can be replaced and sent into the trash can for good. The photoshop Auto-align feature is an absolute killer. I can stack, merge and combine with easy now. Only a small shift would be a major headache a few years back.
3. Resolution. That's the difficult one to decide. Panorama is easier than ever to do. Upscale and AI algorithms seem to get far more out of an image, but is it the same as getting your latest Sony or MF? If you can already do a decent 36x24" print do you need much more???
4. The rest. I know it won't enable Video features like autofocus on mine, but it sort of can give you RAW using Magic Lantern hack. It won't even enable auto-ISO exposure compensation or exposure + flash bracketing at the same time (that's covered by (2) though)
I know just the latest Adobe won't make my 5D mk3 into Sony A7RIII, since the latter is getting the same boost. But it sure makes it into 5D mk3++ for sure.
Please discuss.
