First of all I have lost count of how much money I have happily spent at BnH. Every single experience I have had at BnH has been positive. Absolutely no complaints from me what so ever. So what's going on now?

I opened a Payboo account. With this account you can buy what you want, and depending on how much you spend you get so many months of interest free payments.

I bought $6200.00 worth of new gear expecting several months to pay it off so I wouldn't by paying any interest.

I received my first invoice today from Payboo and they charged me $134.00 in interest.

I am not done with BnH by any means. Since i don't have $6,000 sitting around to pay this off tomorow I guess I have no other option except to withdraw money from my pension account to pay off this balance and say good bye to Payboo.

So what's up BnH?

Well is relative...

For many photographers, simply knowing that one camera is better than another is 4/5ths the battle.
Most viewers really don't care with what camera an image was taken. Unless they are equipment worshipers or pixel peepers. And, unless they have something with which to compare, the viewer would have no idea if another camera would be "better". (Then there is post processing abilities...)
It's all in the mind of the photographer.
What is necessary to make him feel good about his work.

A friend is about 72, and I don't think she's ever had a printer. She uses the library or Staples for any printing. Although she has a laptop, she uses her phone almost exclusively. She asked me for advice about buying a printer.

Jerry, be careful here.Unless color printing is necessary, I’d suggest a Laser Printer for occasional use. Lots here recommend the economical Brother Laser printer. Get the least expensive one.
If she gets a color cartridge printer and prints only sometimes, expect lots of on-site printing calls from her to fix (cartridges) what you recommended. I speak from 14 years of owning a Computer Service Center! Hardly any callback from Brother Lasers I recommended!

I have one in my basement tool cabinet. It's a Skil drywall screw driver. I've had it for about 45 years. I used it to drywall my kitchen when I remodeled it. I also used it several times for driving deck screws, but then reliable cordless drivers came along, and it now sits in retirement.

I also have a Craftsman (relabeled Skil) 3-way reversible drill in AC. It has regular 1/2" Jacob's chuck, a twist of the collar changes it to an impact drill (great for masonry), and a second twist converts it to a power chisel. Nothing like AC power when you really need power.
