A couple years ago I hiked a trail in the Catalinas near Tucson and snapped a photo with my newish camera from the exact spot where I'd taken a photo about six years earlier under very similar lighting. The new camera has a smaller sensor (Lumix micro 4/3, compared to Sony APS-C), so I was curious to compare the two. In short, I could hardly believe how much better my newer photo looked in every respect. Sharper, significantly more accurate and vibrant color rendition across the spectrum, even the composition was slightly better, thanks to digital photography allowing me to shoot tens of thousands of photos in intervening years. And... the newer camera could shoot video, too, and had dramatically better high ISO results, more frames per second when needed, far better and faster focusing. The old model was a Sony DSLR with APS-C sensor, everything was much heavier about it, lenses were more expensive. And that camera, a Lumix GX-7 is my OLD camera now. I have a Lumix G9 and GX-9 now, and the former can even shoot 200 fps HD slow mo, plus take stills that have great color and enlarge to 36x24 with ease. But at the same time, I have a hard time of disposing of the older cameras which still work. So I still have most of them, too... -g-
