I’m going travelling in a week or two and decided to dig out my old Canon 350D dslr, from the early days of consumer digital cameras before the rise of the smartphone.

It’s definitely older than I remember, although maybe so am I! 8 mega pixel, with a 512Mb compact flash card.

On the other hand, I have a perfectly serviceable OnePlus 7T, obviously newer, not cutting edge any more but fine.

What do people think? Go retro or stick to the modern?

    Maybe I’m just old school, but actual proper physical glass lenses with optical zoom will always perform better than tiny lenses that fake just about everything digitally.

      Eh old sensors perform pretty poorly. You end up with noise that’s hard to remove. Old Canon sensors had this terrible banding. Ultimately the image you get is math, and there are multiple ways to get the same result.
