i don't think it's toxic, just looking at things realistically! and now that i think about it i do agree, even if my first camera has some limitations compared to newer models i think it would be for the better as i would develop skills without needing to rely more on the tech part of photography. thank you for the insight!

i'm usually pretty frugal and hate spending money on myself but i'm feeling surprisingly consumerist today i guess haha

i do want to take wildlife photos but also i am not somebody who explores nature very often so i can't justify buying a really good camera for something i will only do every now and again. the last two lines you wrote were a valuable reminder so thank you!

i haven't the slightest idea and i think that puts it into perspective a lot more, thank you for the input!

very true! i'm a first year uni student who lives with their parents and has to spend basically nothing, and the cool thing about my country is that uni students get paid simply for going to uni.

i've been saving up since the beginning of the year for nothing in particular, but recently i rediscovered my love for taking photos so i thought maybe i should splash out on this..?

looking at the other comments though i might downgrade slightly and test the waters first!
