“assuming you could get a camera that was completely noise-free, what then? Would this improve your pictures? The answer, I suppose, is that it might. More likely, it would work with some pictures and not be important for others. but it doesn’t help at all to answer any of the main questions, which are, what are you going to take pictures of? Why? Once you’ve shot the pictures, how do you tell which ones are better and which not so good? Unfortunately, the technical goal of complete freedom from noise doesn’t help you at all with any of these questions.”
