Same photo, different camera (Sydney-Australia edition)
Whether you are on the hunt for a new camera & wondering if it is worth adding a digital or film camera to your bag, or you are simply a photography enthusiast nerding out… I hope these side-by-side image comparisons can add some clarity in the differences of the images the cameras produce.

As you can see, each image reflects the unique properties of the camera used. Every camera has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the one you prefer ultimately depends on what you’re looking for in a photo or a camera. What works for me might be completely different from what works for you.
I am often carrying multiple cameras at once because I am learning that each camera shines in its own specific moments and situations. Perhaps this in-depth analysis for another time…
