On a similar note, my pet peeve is dismissing cameras as old or obsolete when they've passed the 5 year mark, or thereabouts. Cameras that were seen as class leading when released are now discussed as relics that are no longer up to the job. I understand that technology moves on, but if a camera was excellent when it was released, and capable of large prints, it hasn't got worse over time. Most newer camera have only improved incrementally and in most ways I'm not bothered about, so the good news is that I get some great bargains on eminently capable tools.

Lol, you'll be banned shortly for posting things like that...

The older I get, the less impressed I am with shiny new toys, simple, reliable, enjoyable and gets the job done is what I look for, so guilty as charged I guess

I happen to agree with that sentiment.

And if I'm being truthful I bite my tongue on most threads on this site - the endless repetition of more pixels and resolution and how much better that is.

Most every week there is a thread where someone claims they can see how much improved the IQ is - even on the rear screen!

The sad reality is that if your images are garbage to begin with and you change the camera body or lens well, your images will still be garbage.
