I think Degas would have loved the modern cemara and its ability to capture action in a split second.He did experiment with photography but it was still in its infancy and so the dancer had to hold the pose for a long time whilst the shot was taken. The photo would lose the whole notion of movement that he was so keen to portray. So he returned to painting.I think that photography is amazing at capturing an instant but for me that can lose the movement whereas with the energy of sweeping brushstrokes it is easier to feel the portrayed flow of movement.
