Also, there's something wonderful about embracing the specific qualities, aesthetics and limitations of lofi equipment.
Most people are trying to get the highest possible quality out of their cheap or prosumer equipment, shooting by themselves. You can sort of fake it - but even the most naive viewer knows what an expensive and well-lit film looks like. I've always preferred to go the other way - often you find you've accidentally-on-purpose added extra layers of interest, truth and immediacy to what you're shooting. I think this is why I keep coming back to cellphones and point & shoots. And probably why after all this time of thinking about it, I still haven't forked out for an HD camera.
