I believe that people need to learn how to shoot. They need to know about exposure and what you can do with it. Composition is something that makes or breaks a shot. All of these basics are important. No camera can do this on its own. I always love to see the new equipment, but frequently find out I probably won't use certain features.

I was late jumping on the digital trend because the early cameras were horrible. I never buy the first model of a new car. I'll probably not buy a 60MP camera. I have the bodies, lenses, filters and associated equipment for the hobby I love. There are days I don't shoot one photo, there are other days I shoot everything. This is a fun hobby and I enjoy every minute I spend doing it. I learn so many new things every day. My cameras allow me to do these new things, too.
