Yeah, I get that. However what I get is vendor’s regret, with the related gear re-buying syndrome. I promote some gear, want I hadn’t, and fairly often purchase it once more. I’ve type of bought that underneath management now, but it surely has been a major problem, particularly with my Micro 4 Thirds cameras.
For instance, I’ve offered and re-bought the Olympus PEN E-P7 – twice. Logically, I managed to persuade myself I had much better cameras in my drawer that I might and must be capturing with, so I offered it (them). However when it got here right down to it, I spotted this was the one on a regular basis carry I couldn’t do with out. Oh, they usually do look great.

After which there have been my two Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark IIIs. Sure, two. I offered the primary one as a result of I had an E-M1 Mark III, which was logically higher in each respect, then re-bought a used E-M5 Mark III as a result of I missed it a lot.
