RX1 is even more expensive if the photos are rubbish!

So what?

I graduated form a top college, got my doctorate (and a four year post-doc) and made my money.

I'm an expert at what I do and an enthusiastic amateur everywhere else.

I buy and enjoy the things I like without worrying about what "experts" think.

Keep in mind that all those dilettantes make fancy cameras, boats, planes, watches, etc., etc. available for everyone else as they make many products financially viable for the manufacturers.

Be thankful that you can not only afford nice gear but that you have the interest and the eye to do something with it.

A blessing really.
