That is true but I am still using the car and camper that I bought 9 years ago, traveling is the hobby not the mode of transport. Whereas your hobby doesn’t appear to be photography but the hobby is buying and selling very expensive photographic equipment.
I mean how long is it since you sold the Sony camcorder and bought the Panasonic one, surely it is only a couple of years? The audio equipment is even more recent. It is all documented on this forum
I’m glad Simon and Garfunkel stuck to Nikon, these lyrics would have been tricky with Panasonic
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away 
Bruce £10 to someone who has nothing is a lot of money. Those who have £millions then £10 is virtually nothing.
spitty
Most of my Nikon camera equipment was on the older end of the photographic era. The Nikon D810 was nearly 10 years ago since I bought it and the last lens about 5 years ago to replace a lot old one.
Since then mirrorless cameras are the norm and from other photographic sites I belong to ,a lot of the older members are changing to four thirds for the same reason I have, and that is weight.
Bruce, god bless him, is it appears very concerned about what I am doing. Must be an Australian thing after watching all those Kangaroos in his neck of the woods
RS, hobbies are expensive, but, most that involve some sort of equipment, you will always have an asset to sell in future, all be it at a loss.
The way I look on stuff that I’m selling or throwing out is is that I had my money’s worth, use or enjoyment out of them. I’ve given things away on that basis even though they might have cost me a good bit of money to buy when new.
S9 Full Frame Mirrorless … is your obvious next move RS. 
That’s my kind of camera d00d.
Photography is my only hobby. Cameras, the only thing I waste money on. But it doesn’t add up to much: a £800 camera the year before last, I think it was about £400 on a used camera & lens last year.
Isn’t it beautiful !
It is. I’m using a Canon PowerShot SX260 HS. Had it years since it was almost the new model of its kind in 2011, probably bought around 2012. It has been through all all sorts of rough treatment as it accompanied me on years of off-road bike rides. Still works well and has a good 20x zoom on it but I’d like a new one such the one shown.
What about this beauty, the LOMO Minitar L-CA
This was the last camera we bought
Lomography’s cool.
But what total disrespect for a camera!
dood it is not so much the camera but the full frame lenses that weigh a ton. Walking around all day with something unwieldy weighing 5 or 6 lb is not my idea of enjoying a hobby
Don’t doubt the disrespect d00d, but it is what it is, it still has a value apparently.
Had to look that one up.
Bruce, if you are still using Picasa3 you can see the Lomo-ish effect, a copy of what the lenses did on those old Russian film cameras.
That’s it, more colour contrast, blurriness around the edges.
I quite like that effect I might use it more often. Good one.
