A second source of motivation for me, and not the least
The history of digital photography, already over 30 years old

The point of collecting digital cameras with interchangeable lenses (DSLRs) and also MLs (mirrorless). It's all about getting them to work properly and evaluating their respective performances.
In my early days (1996), I remember how difficult it was to find photos taken with the first cameras. And even harder to find comparisons, with the first Kodak DCSs and so on.
I thought it would be interesting to remedy this problem, at least in part. By proposing a series of comparisons based on my own collection. And today, I'm in the process of making my 294th.
In general, for each comparison, I take between 15 and 20 photographs taken in different situations.
Always in RAW or TIFF, if possible. With a minimum of intervention in LR to remain as fair as possible.
Then I publish the results on Flickr, two full-size photos of the two cameras involved, and Crops at 100% and/or at 50% and 100% or a prorata.
Another good reason for making these comparisons is that it's an excellent excuse to use my cameras cyclically.
With an average of three comparisons a month, it takes me a minimum of 15 months to go through my entire collection.
And it's a lot of fun!
Even if some of the comparisons may seem crazy to you ;)
