This has been changed for the young generation.
The young gen would overpaid for Fuji and also purchase Sony RX1 III or Leica Q without thinking because of the hype because of the look.

I know at least 5 people around me, they got their first camera last year was Leica Q or RX1 III.
Everything shoot at large aperture = good photo that is most of the youths learned from social media nowadays.

You should see the Hasselblad subreddit. It's full of children dropping 10k on their first setup, posting blurry photos of their "broken" X2D2, not understanding how electronic shutter works.


Does anyone know what these people do to make a living 😮



Most of the young gen doesn't want a kid and doesn't even want to buy the house nowadays.
They but what makes them happy ( in debt )


They also buy what their super idols , Youtubers , streamers.......have
E.g Labubu, they pay double or even triple of retail price because how many public figures have it
