Irrational Purchases ( Kirk Tuck)

Rings true, probably more for us non commercial photographers that get easily swayed by reviews. I liked how he ended the article:

1DX order cancelled. Passport renewed. Cards in process. How's that for a kick in the *** for the New Year?

and this candid bit made me laugh. Thanks for sharing the link.

Your inner-f-ing artist???? You gotta be kidding me. That guy was happy shooting on the streets with an old Hasselblad, a used lens and a pocket full of slow film. I haven't seen anything from these profit vampire digital cameras that looks any better. And do you know why? Because you keep spending all your money on toys. Back when a camera would last you longer than indigestion you could put money aside for travel and adventure. Remember travel and adventure? A hell of a lot more fun to do, and write about, than the buttons on the lastest f-ing point and shoot cameras. Wouldn't you agree?

I'd have to agree with the author that since my purchase of the 5D Mark II, I haven't seen any need to upgrade my body.

Although I will admit I've been drooling over that 1DX and the ability to shoot 10fps!!!!!
