Of any camera reviewer at a traditional publication, I’m often the one to dissent with others until they eventually say exactly what I do — years later. And in this case, we’re talking about autofocus. I’m going to be clear here: there’s a bunch of us people who have been left out of the equation when it comes to camera’s autofocus. And often, it’s those of us with darker skin. Contrast and phase detection has been really bad at this — and if you try to focus on someone like me without the use of human detection, the camera probably won’t be able to find me in low light. But years ago, Polaroid solved that problem. And in 2025, they brought it back.
