Fooled by my grandson about getting the shot

[jvo]

he probably get most of them...

he probably get most of them...

and he'd probably get the majority of shots that i "missed"...

if it was only about getting the shot, then of course, i'd go digital.

if i was a hunter and want to bag that deer or other big game all the time, i get an m-60 machine gun, rather than a bow.

it is about enjoying the process, what it takes to get it... some you win, some you lose - hopefully in all cases you learn to win more and lose less.

DSLR is still good for quick photos. My friend has Tamron super zoom on digital Rebel DSLR. It is still compact kit and nothing much wrong with quality.
Vladimir Pozner made interesting travel TV series (in Russian) and he was often in the scene with Canon DSLR and 28-300 old, giant L super zoom.
Maybe modern mirrorless or even P&S with super zoom are good as well now for quick and snappy AF.

I agree with him. I use a superzoom compact when on holiday so i don't miss a shot. I wouldn't have fancied traipsing up glaciers in Iceland with a film camera and lenses.

On a day out a film camera and few lenses and my A7 no problem, but beach, riding and hiking definitely a superzoom.
