The present is what pays the rent.
For most of us the equipment doesn't pay for anything. Possibly why we
have a little different perspective.
Yes, such people are hobbyists and enthusiasts. Nothing wrong with that.
Why complain so much then? You should be enjoying the challenge and
intricacies of new developments, while exploring the joys of using the
equipment you own.
Some of us are happy with what we have. Some of us are stuck with what
we have. Others like myself view it as an expenditure that will likely
never be recouped. If I'm going to spend a significant amount on camera
gear in the future I want to spend it as few times as possible, if that
makes any kind of sense.
- If you're happy with what you have, what's the problem? Don't buy
anything, and stop complaining about new things that are different.
- If you're stuck with what you have, sorry to hear it. Complaining about
it isn't going to change anything. Figuring out how to get unstuck is much
more satisfying.
- If you just like to complain about the future things which might or
might not come to pass, or the past which presented you with a sour
stomach ...
well, keep on keepin' on.
