Other Background Information

Photography and camera technology has been an important interest/hobby that I've been learning more about for the past 4 years. The evolution of camera technology was seemingly slow for quite a while, until mirrorless cameras became more mainstream with the introduction of the Sony A7 back in 2013. Since then, the evolution of sensor technology has sky rocketed to the point where mobile phone cameras are able to greatly benefit from these breakthrough innovations.
