If you're in trouble, then I'm in real trouble. When my Canon Rebel died, I replaced my Canon Elph by a Pentax Q-7 and my Canon Rebel by a Pentax K-30. I find having moved from the dark side to the light side good.

I too must confess that after a pilgrimage to the Holy Shrine of B&H I came home with a Sony A6000 mirrowless with a sack of Sony lenses and accessories on the back of my mule. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. I felt totally reborn.


Thank you for your patronage and glad you enjoyed our little camera shop. Let me know next time you plan to visit.

I have to agree with a couple of the others in this thread.... if you go with a Nikon, you will not have the urge for such wanderlust. :-) JK of course. I have several types, although most enjoy my Nikons that take the majority of awesome photos!

Much "nachas" on your purchase of the A6000. Now you have to find an 18-105 "G" Sony lens with it. That is what will really tune you into the promise that Sony delivers. Even when I upgraded to full frame I kept the 18-105 (APS-C) because I could not bear to part with it. Now that is fidelity!!

Most recently, I have again displayed my weakness and I bought a Sony A6000. Is there a Photo-Therapist on this Forum that can help me curtail this wanderlust?

Here's the question. Have you regretted any of those purchases? If not your sins are forgiven.

The 18-105 G OSS was one of my 1st purchases. Then the 135/1.8 Prime, then the 150/1.8 Prime, then the..............it just gets worse and worse. How do I stop the madness?

I'm reminded of an old saying that goes, "Variety is the spice of life."

You have joined a growing church / synagogue of converts. Many, as myself, still dabble in the old testament teachings of DSLR's, while a smaller and more apostolic group continues to spread and preach the word and new testament of MILC's.
Whatever your former indiscretion(s), a trip to the holy site of B&H will immerse you into either world and you shall be saved.

Knowing a quite a bit about Yom Kippur and a bit about photography, I can assure that you are by no means in the clear my son. For a full and guilt free forgiveness you must first make the arduous cross country pilgrimage to B&H Photo the Mecca of Photography where you will bare your soul to Clerics trained, expert and seasoned in the sins of all manner of technology and who themselves have been tested a time or two. They will listen with sympathy, gravitas and furrowed brow to your confession and advise you as to the required penance.

NOTE: Like all things worthwhile in life, a "full and guilt free forgiveness" may come at a cost. Much may depend on how much room you have in your suitcase and your credit limit.

All said with a big tongue in cheek. Enjoy all that you have and accept my best wishes to you and yours and all my fellow members celebrating this time of year for a Happy, Healthy, Sweet, Prosperous and Joyous New Year.

Rationalize for a bit. Just ask yourself one question. "What has Canon done for me that I owe them blind loyalty? " They don't love you. They do love your pocketbook. The same with any corporation. Feel free to buy what you will. I won't tell Canon if you don't.


I absolutely agree.

I suppose by your definition, I'm cheating with my mistress Fujina on my spouse, Nikonea. Nothing wrong with a little "on the side"-- with photography only, of course....

Feel free to send me your evil K-5, I could stand a back-up spare.

I could confess as a Catholic, lusting for other brands too: Nikon F3, F4, Canon A1, F1, and once was very tempted by a Nikon FM2. But I never gave in. I only mix my photography and cross-over to the dark-side with Nikon and Schneider View Camera and Enlarging lenses. But I do have a Canon PIXMA Pro-9000 Printer!

So I take it that your plan is to spend your children's inheritance... Great plan... (GAS is an illness that should be treated with the greatest of respect..)...
