POTN is probably the oldest continously operational photo forum. I am wondering how young everyone is.

I'm older than I feel and still learning new things every day.
Especially when photography is involved.

As I recall, an earlier poll asked this same question. It was posted in 1950 or so.

This will be interesting to watch. I'm guessing that the results will trend to the older. OhLook, I remember that one and back than I though it was already trending older but I can't seem to find it when searching.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

I tried searching it throught POTN search and couldnt find it a few hours earlier.

Within this hour I Google searched it and found it.

I was trying to think of a way to reconcile both. Do I ask for a merge or something else?

It confirms what a publicly available market research stated that dSLR & mirrorless owners are older than me.

Oh boy…seems our group is aging a tad. We need to get some young whipper snappers.

When you see my camera gear you'll think I'm a pro.
When you see my photos you'll know that I'm not.
