I wrote about the decision I had to make about my camera. Put more money into trying to repair it, replacing it with a similar model or replacing it with the professional model I eventually wanted to move into anyway.
I chose option number 3. An option I instantly regretted the moment I placed the order. How could I spend so much money I didn't have? How could I break my debt promise? What was I thinking? This is the reason I struggled for so long to get out of debt in the first place.
I got my camera in the mail. The news was even worse. Very few of my current accessories fit the new camera. The lens is too big for my filters, some of which I had barely used yet. The battery wasn't interchangable. I even had to upgrade my photo editing software because the camera is a new enough model, the older software couldn't read the raw file format.
Sigh.
Then I went out and shot some pictures. The new camera is heavier, but I replaced 2 lenses with 1 lens, so less gear to carry. That worked itself out. And the results...
Sharp and clear. I'm so thrilled. I don't know how I ever lived without this camera!
So, on occasion, questioning your decisions is a good idea, in this case, it was wrong. Buying the new camera was absolutely the best decision I could have made and I have high hopes of taking my photography to the next level.
