My first DSLR ever was the Olympus E510. If you’ve followed me since I wrote for a website called Photography Bay or even at PCMag, then you’ll know that I loved this camera and used it to get lots of great images. At the time, I believe it was no more than 10 Megapixels and it used a Live MOS sensor that was made by Kodak. Because of that, the images from it look far different from anything that Sony or Canon makes. Every now and again, I browse my old Flickr albums from back in the day and I realize that the images from that sensor are very unlike anything made today. In the pursuit of a sterile form of perfection, digital photography has killed off almost all the competition when it comes to sensor making. There’s just Canon and Sony for the most part. And the result is image quality that isn’t as plentiful as there are film emulsions. Sure, you can apply presets afterwards, but it still isn’t at all the same experience.
