Which is the Best Camera?

While the Mamiya 7 is the world’s best camera, the best camera is always the one you have with you.

Since some geeks still think cameras, not people, make pictures, I thought I’d show you the work shot exclusively on an iPhone by renowned pro Chase Jarvis.

If you can shoot well, all you need is a disposable, toy camera or a camera phone to create great work. If you’re not talented, it doesn’t matter if you buy a Nikon D3X or Leica; your work will still be uninspired.

It’s always better to spend your time and money on learning art and composition, not by spending it on better cameras.

Until you can shoot as well as Chase, don’t kid yourself into thinking that better cameras take better pictures.

Your camera never matters. A nicer camera may make it easier, faster or more comfortable to take pictures, but never improves the results unless it’s a camera store, magazine or commercial website telling you so because they make money selling you more cameras.

Thanks, Chase!
