For the sake of convenience, leading to less skill
3

I think we all tend to be brand loyal for convenience - most of us don't like to learn a new system once we FINALLY get one figured out.

That said, I think the fatter the wallet, the more choice.

That said, in my opinion, sometimes more choice makes us less skilled photographers - rather than really work and stretch the capabilities of a single system, we buy, buy, buy rather than solve, solve, solve.

Do notice I said we - us. All of the pros I have interacted with have less gear, not more.

Seems to me that less gear can lead to more skill. What am I going to get rid of next . . .
