Sell it all? Serious question.

Re: Sell it all? Serious question.

Heya CityLights,

I'm sure you know that only you can really answer that question.

My own answer to that situation was: I switched to a small Fujifilm "mirrorless" camera (X-T10). It's so much more convenient for hauling around -- that was one of the big problems I had with my XT/350D. And although I'm tangled up in the editing world (see my sig), I don't enjoy editing at all, and the JPEG images from the Fuji are great SOOC.

I also don't do video, which the older Fujis (like mine) truly suck at. I suck at video even worse than my camera does. However, I believe that video is the future, and that still imagery will be a niche like black-and-white became. Still photography is for old fogies like me. Perhaps you're more progressive than I am, in which case buying a new stills camera might be pointless.

I haven't sold my Canon gear. An XT/350D plus 17-85 wouldn't bring enough to make it worthwhile. Your situation is quite different.
