Sounds like a good idea if your goal is to save money. You will save even more money by never updating your gear. Personally I do a lot of photography and I appreciate the improved capabilities of the newest cameras. Things such as improved image quality and improved autofocusing are important to me.

Not quite what I meant really I don't see developments in recent years as hugely important nor advancements worthy of heavy cash outlays. If you're on a clock and money is time or a professional then of course I can understand that.

The camera industry is trying to buck the electronics trend maintaining high prices whilst other goods fall rapidly in costs. It never was sustainable and it's even less likely to work now that many people have "good cameras" there are relatively few big advancements in cameras unless you need massive resolution which many don't. AF has improved but it wasn't bad even 4-5 years ago.

Bottom line the rip off has to end and I talk with my wallet it stays shut. Next 4-5 years will show the camera makers how misguided they have become they're in for massive sales slumps
