Why do you feel that almost all China people in the scenic spot have SLR, while foreign tourists basically use card machines?

In the course of our daily travel, we can often see China people using SLR, but foreign tourists are different. They mainly use card machines. In view of this phenomenon, I think it is mainly based on portability and identity.

I. Portable

Compared with the quality of movies, foreign tourists pay more attention to the sense of experience in the process of traveling. SLR is the clearest and most professional, but because of its large size and heavy weight, it is a very important problem to carry it in daily travel. Traveling abroad, traveling light will be more in line with the habits of foreign tourists. So as long as you bring a card machine, you can meet the basic photography needs. Why not?

Second, identity.

Another reason is based on the current domestic pursuit of SLR. Traveling with a SLR represents an identity relative to portability.

Today, with the rapid economic development in China, China people begin to change from material needs to spiritual needs. Single lens reflex (SLR) just represents a group of people in China who pursue expensive and professional skills and can show their professional standards to others, so it has become one of the big killers. So I took a large group of China people who like to take photos and want to take good photos to buy SLR, forming a consumption boom.

Moreover, the development and popularization of photographic knowledge and equipment in other countries is much earlier than that in China. Therefore, in terms of personal photography knowledge, Chinese people are relatively lacking, so when buying photographic equipment, it is inevitable to "see what kind of equipment others have", thus triggering a consumption boom.

But in the end.

Everyone has his own pursuit, and the same is true for photography. Some people study before buying machines, while others buy machines before learning slowly. Everyone has different situations in each country, and different hobbies lead to different pursuits. There is no distinction between good and bad.
