If you're an average digital camera owner like myself, this scenario must have happened to you.
You want to buy a new one.
You talk to everybody you know in the field, read up reviews on different models and eventually come up with one that perfectly fits your needs.
You go to the shop, but it and use it for a few weeks.
Afterwards, you go to the same store and find one that's even better, faster, newer and cheaper than yours.
I must admit this has happened to me in the past.
Over the last few years, I bought six cameras, and I have friends who have changed even more.
If you want to stop maxing out your credit cards on cameras that will get obsolete in no time, you must have asked yourself what you should do about it: stay with an old model or look for a top-notch camera that will always be in line with the latest technology? Welcome to reality, my dear friend: any camera, computer or cell phone will eventually be superseded by a better, newer model, and there is nothing you can do about it.
The technology in this field is advancing so fast that ANY model will become out of date in a matter of months.
So how should you cope with this issue? Well, unless you are very satisfied with your current camera, go ahead and buy the best one you can find, the one with the best price versus functionalities rate.
Unless you really need a feature that is not available on the market yet and know precisely when it will be released, learn to live with this simple fact: your new camera will sooner or later become outmoded.
But by that time you will have used all the new features and still have the choice to upgrade at that remote time.
A wise proverb says that the good opportunities appear only once, and this is particularly true in this field.
Why let the good moments pass by and miss the chance to take that one photo you always wanted? Go ahead, buy the best camera that fits your needs and have fun shooting photos.
Relax and get the best you can out of your cam.
