BTW-I have no idea what canon announced yesterday as I’ve spent the last 48 hours in a birthday presents and party fog.

This is EXACTLY how I felt when Canon announced the 1D X!!!!! To be honest, I didn’t really care much for it. and I have not upgraded my photo gear since the original 5d for photography. Actually no, I’m still shooting w/ 6yr+ old cameras (1dmk2!!! OMG, I MUST SUCK!!!). I recently read a tweet from my friend that I believe applies to photography & art & motion:

“Photography isn’t about the technical side anymore…anyone can do that. Its how you show YOUR viewpoint and pull the most from the subject.”

In other words, IDEA/CONTENT is always king!!

I’ve worked w/ photographers before that have the latest and greatest gear from canon. The most expensive Profoto lights. Light meters and the fanciest gadgets. I’m telling you, WELL OVER 20-30K of the BRAND NEW GEAR. But they still manage to suck! and create sub-par images.

NO matter how good a camera and lights is marketed, it will not make you a better artist/story teller. and IMO if you cannot produce something decent w/ old gear, you will not produce better w/ new gear.

Don’t fall into the hype.

I just peeked at the Engadget article about it, looks cool, but I am happy with my T2i & 7D. In fact I am soon going to sell my 7D and get a T3i! BUT WAIT… That is a downgrade?? Some might say that. But I am very happy with what I got.. and so is my budget 🙂

I am sure I won’t be able to afford whatever it is, so I don’t have to worry about buying something new.

“Let’s stop chasing after the next new thing and maximize the ones we have.” ~ That is a beautiful comment Andrew. I just tweeted that. 🙂

Let’s stop chasing after the next new thing and maximize the ones we have. We will never be able to keep up anyway. My FCP7 works just fine, why would I need FCPX?
You’re right Ron. Living in fear is really not living fully.
