(04) More Megapixels for What? The Tech Obsession We Don’t Need.

Is a 24-megapixel camera still usable in 2025? And if your camera doesn’t shoot 8K video, is it even worth turning on?
We've been trained to believe that if you don’t own the latest camera, you’re not a real photographer. But let’s be honest—those 100 megapixels? They end up compressed on social media. Those 1200 fps? Used in a moody slow-mo reel with lo-fi music.
The problem isn’t technology. It’s our obsession with constantly upgrading. We’ve been sold the idea that creativity comes from specs, that a 3-year-old camera is outdated, that inspiration is somehow tied to firmware updates.
But here's the truth: the best camera in the world is useless if you don’t know what you’re trying to say.

And for the record, among the more than 20??? different cameras I own (ahem...collect them), I still shoot with some old 10MP ones. They still do the job—because vision matters more than resolution.
