Take the XSi in the opening post...if it takes a photo that makes the person who owns it happy...what's the point of upgrading.
Too many people buy into the 'it's new...I gotta have it' mentality.
You think the new pickup you just bought isn't worth 25% less a year after you buy it.
It's what drives our consumerist society.
True regarding cell phones and cars. The only thing is that I do use the car and the phone every day. I do use the digital camera maybe once or twice a year.... It is just too bulky to carry around versus the compact iPhone.
And I’m pretty sure that the iPhone has more pixels than my CAmera. Lol!
