Popular is not a scale

One of the most popular cameras of 2025 cost about £1200.

One of the other most popular cameras of 2025 cost about £80.

The expensive one is fun because of its high quality images, snap-focus feature, and delightful 40mm-equivilent field of view in a 35mm format.

The cheaper one is fun because of it’s retro photo vibes, begging you to be stuff it into your pocket and let loose, in contrast with the calculated use of the other one.

They’re both very different cameras. Opposites, in many ways.

Yet they’re both the most popular.

“Popular” is not a scale.
