different cameras
This is an assortment of photos I've taken with the different cameras I have. It's not a comparison per se, because the pictures aren't identical obviously. But I just thought it would be fun to look through and see how different cameras see the world. One interesting thing to note is that these cameras run the gamut from very cheap (toy camera, $16) to very expensive (digital SLR, $1,600 new). My personal opinion is that your eye takes the picture, and that that matters more than the equipment in your hand. It all comes down to what you want and what you like. Doing whatever makes you enjoy photography and life the most (without having to sell your car or your dog) is way more important than abiding by any artistic standard, quality standard or other standard that people may set.
