Sandokan Posted January 12, 2023 Share #2 Posted January 12, 2023 Lenses (M) hold their value, digital cameras do not. Get a native lens for SL2s. Or a trip for photography. If the Q3 is important to you, wait. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted January 12, 2023 Share #4 Posted January 12, 2023 This sounds like a financial or personal problem, not a photographic one. You need this site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted January 12, 2023 Share #9 Posted January 12, 2023 Not needed. I cannot afford the ones that can improve on my Stax earspeakers. 6000 would only cover a tenth of the price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmans Posted January 12, 2023 Share #10 Posted January 12, 2023 As someone told me years ago… a camera is just a box to take photos….the lens does the rest. Invest in a lens and don’t get sucked into buying the latest and greatest ‘box’ to take a photo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then you need a very roomy listening environment (which you may or may not have), else those speakers would be pointless. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmans Posted January 14, 2023 Share #18 Posted January 14, 2023 Ten years? I think you are overstating it. True , while digital cameras might last ‘up to ten’, I bet the average consumer trades it in when the next model comes along. Q3…q4 etc…. All marketed to sound better/improved…. But really just a way to grab your $. If you want new… go for the MA… and keep it for life … or, grab a M3 or 2 or MP-4 n keep them for life too.
