David argues that the Fujifilm X Half's features, like light leak modes and the inability to shoot RAW, are intentionally designed to make images look worse as a creative choice.

“All of the features in this camera are to make the pictures worse. One of the filters is literally called light leak. You're like, what are you trying to dial in on this thing?”

He claims the Hasselblad X2D II is the greatest camera ever because it allows for maximum detail capture and flexibility in post-processing.

“This is why I keep saying this is the greatest camera ever made because it lets me capture as much as I possibly can to then have the most flexibility in post.”

He finds using a dedicated camera more rewarding than a phone because it encourages him to be more intentional with his photography.

“That is probably my favorite part about carrying an actual camera versus my phone. like you drove past it and you were like, I'm coming back for that.”

He believes using older, less capable camera technology can lead to more unique stylistic choices and artistic results.

“My take has always been the the negative sides of like bad technology or non-advanced technologies can be used as stylistic choices in the future when you have the option to use them.”

He prefers a camera that is pocketable and unobtrusive, allowing for candid photography without people changing their behavior.

“The thing, again, the thing I I like it the thing I like the most about it is that when I take it out of my pocket, no one has to pretend to act a certain way.”
