Is this sony a6000 worth buying used at $425 CAD?

Can someone explain this to me like I'm completely fucking retarded? Is the shutter speed of his camera faster than the speed it takes for the light to reach the wall?

is this the ultimate photography kit?

Who is exhibiting best technique here?

Isn't this just a fucking shame?

Is there any real point in spending money on a faster 50mm lens when you're going to be stopping it down most of the time anyway?

Spent the extra money on a 50mm 1.4 USM to replace my 50mm 1.8 STM as it had damage from condensation and I can't get any usable images wide open, I mean if I was going for pure bokeh it would have been a worthwhile investment but that doesn't matter when you lose so much detail I don't know if I'd ever chose it over shooting at 2.2 or above.

Also pic is from my old lens showing the sharpness when only stopped down to 2.2, tried shooting the same robin at 1.8 but everything came out unusable.

Can't shoot the same robin with the 1.4 to compare as he is now dead :(

Why does digital cinematography looks so shit bros? Film looks way superior.
