Yep; the end result being what you like is all that matters. I’ve already had to toss a couple of CCD cameras because they refused to work anymore, and there’s one I’ve kept which is pretty erratic in operation. We’ll never see their like again.

>> In the end the results are always subjective…

I can’t disagree with that, and it is purely subjective, especially in the eyes of the individual photographer who is doing it. But I have to admit I still like the final results under certain circumstances.

>> Personally I like old CCD sensors…

I certainly agree with that observation. That’s why I still have a working Olympus E-1 with it’s 5MP Kodak CCD sensor. But it’s approaching nearly 20 years in age, and I’m afraid that one day it won’t power on at all anymore.

The Fujifilm fans are about the worst. In the end the results are always subjective, considering the variation in results any two people or any two rolls of actual film may have. Personally I like old CCD sensors because they give the most ‘film like’ results even without fiddling the controls. It’s a rabbit hole anyone can get lost down.
