Logical Exercise: Sell NX, buy Fuji/Sony?

Very nice and realistic listing of facts. Plus: It seems you use your gear on a daily basis and are happy with the "old" NX1. You seem tu use what you like and what works for you. Pure realism. Have to say, that you are not alone with this attitude - many photographers and videographers out there using a reliable gear for years. Some of them just having fun with it, other guys even making a living out of their visual work.

On the other side, people buying nearly every piece of gear announced and selling their "old" (max. 1 year old) gear to buy and "test" the new one. Nothing wrong with this attitude, a growing economy just needs consumerism. Do these guys make better photos or films? Absolutely not. But they help technology manufacturers and gear sellers to pay salaries and bills and drive beautiful cars.

I am full in on consumerism! To list all my equipment (lights, sound, legacy lenses, editing suites, etc) would take me days!

I just detest the clickbait "X brand, killer", "the camera that rules them all" e.t.c titles. Most tools/products have their time and place, and between logical limits, modern cameras offer excellent quality and value.

My opinion is that NX system will be relevant for at least a couple of years more, and if anyone needs raw video or more than 28megapixels photos then definitely needs a different tool; also, renting now and then, it may be a more logical, cheaper and less stressful choice.

Personally, I am investing more in accessories and things that can raise my production values lately, rather than cameras and lenses, most (if not all) are seriously good enough for most jobs/circumstances.

In most jobs/hobbies, people do not change their tools/equipmemt every year. That is not only financially deranged, but counter productive also.

Everything else is about choices and artistic decisions. Some people want medium format only, others are perfectly fine with 20mgpxls m43 and their small zooms. There is no bad or good equipment, just choices.
