Just came back from a trip using a film camera. The experience was totally different, people weren't posing in those stupid instagram poses done for noone, people were posing as people as themselves.

That's what makes photos fun and cool.

Also no surprise people would be reaching for a compact camera, with the majority of the world using iPhone taking pictures really sucks.

Proper cameras encourage better and more enjoyable photography. Phones encourage fastfoodization of pictures.
