-Two kinds of DSLRs: full frame and cropped sensor. Everything else is just buttons and brands. All the big brands have more or less caught up to each other in technology and variety. Prices are close enough to not make much difference between brands.
-Composition and lighting. If you can't figure out these two, neither can a $5000 camera. If you can figure it out, any camera will do just fine.
-Film. Obsolete. Still fun and really cheap. Why can't kids use it today? We are used to checking out the image after the first shot... "oh hang on, there's like a big shadow across your face in this one, lemme take another." In film days*, you simply looked at the picture before you pressed the shutter, not after.
-Primes: underrated. Not elitist, just cheap. I like 'em.
-Talking about cameras, gear, lenses, and photography in general: I like to do this.
-Old stuff: old lenses, old bags, old cases, old cameras. Looks awesome. Often works awesome.
-Shooting wide open on fast lenses: often necessary and lovely.
-Let's be honest: SD card readers are simpler than darkrooms.
-Pawn shops need to sell their crap for cheaper. In Edmonton it seems they've all had the exact cameras and lenses for sale for a long long time.
*note: I am not from film days. 6 years ago I brought a digital camera on a ten week travel, my brother (one year older) brought a film camera. I think that's the line were film days and digital days meet. People born in 84: film. 85: digital. Am I right? Likely. Sound simple enough. I only own a film camera now so I can talk about it.
