It's like the grudge matches at the drag strip. "Run what 'ya brung." I just shoot the cameras I have and don't worry about it. I will not buy a new camera unless something breaks. At 73 and looking at eleven on the shelf.... not likely to be buying anything. The ones already here are plenty of fun.

I kinda think like you. I had a brief flirtation with a new camera, but the trade in people wanted 10 of mine for 1 of theirs. No There is no camera on earth that is worth 10 of mine, thank you. I'll keep and shoot what I have. Somebody just wanted to make a huge profit at my expense. In the end, they got nothing and I'm still happy.

Dump it !!! .... or maybe chicken out.

A 1903 Kodak box camera once owned by my grandmother who worked in a drug store for $0.25 a day to save for it. She took MANY pictures right up until the 1950s with it. It now has a broken latch and I will never use it again, but I can't give it up. Have a picture of her with it in 1913. Also have a Pentax 35mm Spotmatic purchased by me in Vietnam in 1970, again not used lately and probably will sit on my shelf. AND, a 4X5 flat film camera that was my Dad's and will never use it again, but a joy to have.

Successful photographers do the one thing the unsuccessful are unwilling to do: they always buy the camera with the most pixels.

Stop! There is no satire nor information in your posts. You're just stirring the pot, and grinningl like an idiot.
