![]() Nikon has even cashed in by remaking one of its film icons, the Nikon FM2, into a digital model called the Nikon Z fc. ![]() Stalwarts like the Canon AE-1, Nikon F3 and Pentax K1000 continue to command premiums that were unheard of a few years ago. The retailer Ffordes recently told Amateur Photographer (opens in new tab) that "film sales have gone crazy" this year, "to the point where we are struggling to get in enough stock to meet demand".Ī glance at the second-hand prices of film classics on eBay hints at a popularity spike, too. It's difficult to get precise figures for film camera sales, but the anecdotal evidence points to a continued revival in popularity. And while film cameras will never match the vinyl resurgence, which benefits from a steady flow of new music, there are signs that they'll continue to at least hold onto their existence in 2022. Just like in music, there's been a slight kickback against an all-digital world in photography. If you're in the latter camp, don't worry – stacked sensors remain very pricey, so will remain the preserve of premium cameras in 2022. Good for reliability and simplicity perhaps, if a shame for those who like a more tactile, physical experience. This means that high-end cameras will increasingly offer a completely digital shooting experience, with virtually no moving parts. In this scenario, old-school mechanical shutters are an unnecessary complexity. The reason for this bold statement? So-called 'stacked sensors', which deliver incredibly fast read-out speeds, mean that the traditional downsides of electronic shutters (like the rolling shutter 'jello' effect) have been largely resolved. #UE4 TILTSHIFT PROFESSIONAL#This year, we saw the Nikon Z9 – a professional powerhouse – become the first stills-focused camera to arrive without a mechanical shutter.

It's certainly possible – and we'll hopefully even see more innovation like Galeryst (opens in new tab) (above), which lets Lightroom users go beyond the feed and host their own virtual photo exhibitions. The most promising was the arrival of Glass in August, though that app's appeal remains limited by its iOS-only availability and subscription model.Īlternatives like Flickr (opens in new tab) continue to live on, while Waldo Photos (opens in new tab) offers private photo-sharing. With Instagram seemingly more keen to be a home for memes, videos and e-commerce, photographers have been searching for new virtual homes for their snaps in 2021. This is good news for those who've missed the feature since it disappeared in 2016, but it's unlikely to stem the exodus of photographers from the Facebook-ified service. ![]() Instagram head Adam Mosseri recently announced that the app is "working on a version of a chronological feed", which it "hopes to launch next year". ![]()
