If I'm taking photos of birds, or macro shots with flash, I use my EOS 3. But for landscapes and other subjects that do not require flash, faster autofocus or high rates of frames per second, I still sometimes use my EOS 650 or my EOS 630 (usually if I don't want to load a different speed film in my EOS 3). The older cameras are equally good tools for the job, because they take the same lenses and the same film. Improvements in film camera bodies have been relatively minor for many years now. However, each generation of digital camera is a big improvement over the previous generation, so the reasons for upgrading digital cameras are more compelling. Vlad SOARE wrote: >It's all psychology.

Many people do not desire the latest and greatest, so we probably can't use human nature to explain this.
