Why do most people who play SLR cameras are middle-aged and elderly people?

This has nothing to do with the economy. In fact, there are many young photographers, but most of them are middle-aged, because at a certain age, their mentality is getting better and better. They have experienced more, understood what is really precious, loved life more and more, and paid attention to the details of life. This is why the word "kindness" is often used for the elderly. Few young people nowadays can be calm and frivolous. Photography requires enough patience and love, and young people rarely have these qualities or advantages at the same time. Although the number of fans and the economy will also affect this phenomenon, it is a drop in the bucket after all, because love is the driving force that nothing can stop. I hope I can help you! I'm a little tired after typing so many words, but I think your question deserves my deep thought. I hope everyone will adopt my answer, O(∩_∩)O Thank you. )
