I used to think that interchangeable lens cameras offered much better performance than point-and-shoots. in this video, I find that the differences on film (t-max 100) are honestly pretty subtle, and I should stop throwing shade on point-and-shoots. (but I still prefer the great viewfinder and tactile feel of a mechanical camera over an electronic one.)

quick tech specs for nerds:

all photos developed by photolab in berkeley, ca
(b&w in xtol)

scanned w/ fuji gfx 100 + 120/4 GF
(film mounted in negative.supply setup)
at f/8  
sharpened mildly  

contrast/tonality adjusted to taste for each comparison,
but both compared frames processed identically except for exposure balancing.
(linear scans are borrrring, this should be fair enough.)
all scans are edited.
there's no such thing as a neutral scan,
and this isn't a scientific review.
