Buying a camera for its sensor is like buying a car for its motor
Nobody except you and people who have done the same will give a shit, what's important is when and with whom you used it to fulfill your vision
Think back, think back to that one picture you took, maybe you didn't even particularly care about photography back then, maybe you took a noisy ass picture on a sony ericsson flip phone.
Now, would the picture be cleaner on a Sony A7sII at 128.000 ISO? Could you have counted all the pixels in the light that lit up in her eyes if you would have shot it with a D810? Would it be a little less blurry if your lens had a red ring and IS? Would it be more easily readable if his face was in the upper half and the dominant eye lined up with the middle?
Yes, yes to all of them.
But, in the end, does it even really matter? Do these features, do photographic rules really enhance the existence you captured?
"Photography is a secondary thing, because actual objects are true and photography is a lie and a merely a copy of reality. Existence comes first. So you don’t have to make a big deal about photography."

>OP talks about how fidelity is secondary
>sonyfag feels individually addressed and immediately proceeds to brag about gear
>>2831167
But fidelity is secondary that's my point
I was able to get a good camera off someone obsessively upgrading so I could utilize some of my favorite lenses easily that are quite old but work best with how I like to shoot
Instead of hating sonyfags so much use them to get cheap gear
