They came out in 2014 and 2016. Those numbers in the camera world and seeing how quickly camera technology advances year after year....it means that my cameras that I use to take pictures with are old and outdated. If you were to see me working at large venue horse shows with many other professional photographers, I am more often than not the one using the oldest and most outdated cameras to take my pictures.
But yet I still put out what I do. Why?
The answer to that is easy - ๐๐ป๐ผ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ด๐ฒ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐พ๐๐ถ๐ฝ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ and that will never change.
I get asked all the time (mostly by professionals and hobbyists from other industries) on why I don't upgrade my photo cameras. "Dude, you're a professional, people are paying you, you need the latest and greatest." It's simple, I have no reason to upgrade nor do I need the latest and greatest because knowledge trumps what you have in your hands.
I only acquire new stuff when I feel limited by what I currently use. And 9 out of 10 times when I buy a new camera, I buy stuff that's been on the shelf for a couple of years.
I still see so many people jump into the game dropping large amounts of money on some of the highest end cameras because they want to impress and acquire that one client. So by having the latest and greatest to show, it gives them confidence that it will be the difference.
