It’s hard not to try and keep up with the Jones’ these days, or maybe not.

Photography geeks are love getting new cameras and toys to play with every year or six months. So, you can’t blame the manufacturers for feeding that desire.

The rapid advances of digital technology, seems to provide the manufacturers with a seemingly endless supply of good reasons for new models.

Different photographers, different subjects, different shooting environments, and different budgets are all factors that dictate a different camera. It will make your camera buying process a lot faster, if you have a good idea of how all these factors apply to you. There may be some fancy new features that would be a waste of money for you.
