Nikon versus Canon: A Story of Technology Change

I prefer the careful manual selection of the shooting parameters and lens of a DSLR over my iPhone much like I prefer driving a stick shift over an automatic.

Unfortunately for DSLRs for my purposes, the joy of shooting one is vastly outweighed by the inconvenience of transporting it.

Once ICEs are dramatically less convenient than electric vehicles, I suspect I’ll give up stick shift too. Hoping that day is a long way away.

... the best camera is the one you have with you. I love my DSLR but now the multi-lens systems (iPhone X and others) that allow bokeh make it even less compelling to bring my DSLR. If they had a stronger telephoto option, it’d be a done deal for me unless I was shooting professionally again. Sure, I love the control of an SLR but I love always having a good camera with me even more.

Going beyond that, innovative ideas light the extreme mult-lens systems from Light start to offer features a DSLR can’t reproduce in a form factor closer to a smartphone. Disruptive innovation comes from flipping orthodoxies and that is exactly what we’re seeing.

I had never heard of the Light camera, that thing is crazy! Makes sense that it's 2k, I'm loving to see if anybody else tries to take a crack at this unorthodox system.
