A lot of the discussion about new features on these recent threads seem to gravitate towards the extremes.
The cameras we have today allow us to get great results under a variety of circumstances. That does not mean that new features provide no benefit. In certain circumstances, the current gear has some room for improvement left. If you could get better results under a greater variety of circumstances without requiring more practice, that's a positive thing to me, even if those circumstances don't concern me.
Nobody NEEDS IBIS, nobody needs more dynamic range, more megapixels, faster AF, more FPS, smaller files, silent shutter, smaller lenses, and so on. There are work arounds for most circumstances. But for other circumstances, some of these features may help some people.
Modern features aren't really about enabling new circumstances, they are about making them easier to handle. And it's fine if you personally have the skill or technique or experience to handle everything you want with current gear. But if new tech makes things easier for people who lack that or saves time by avoiding going for the work arounds, it is still worthwhile to some people.
And on the other hand, just because it is more difficult or inconvenient to achieve something with current gear, than it has to be, it is still not completely useless. If you won't put up with these compromises or the added practice require red, that's fine. But there are people who go to these lengths and they should be a knowledged as well.
If the only options for an opinion about a certain feature / capability of a camera are 'it works' and 'it doesn't work' these discussions are pointless. Some things work well for certain use cases and not so well for others. And for some people it is a problem if something doesn't work as well, for others it isn't.
I'm sure we all know that,aybe we should think about it more often though. The forum gets so boring reading all these "I need it, therefore everybody needs it" and "I don't need it, therefore nobody needs it" perspectives.
