7 Best Reasons to upgrade your Camera Gear: Follow your Temptations
I am of the kind, who suffers from envy, when new gadgets with amazing features are launched and especially, the DSLR cameras. Every new launch will come up with new feature and perhaps this would seem to be a valid reason why I should upgrade the camera. But then a lot of other things will come in my mind including the price, the good condition of my current camera gear, and fear of more new features coming up within no span of time and so on. So, what do you think what will be the right time to upgrade your camera gear?
I hope, you won’t answer me that you must upgrade the camera when the levels of envy would be at the highest point! Well, jokes apart, there are a few considerations that you will have to think of when thinking of upgrading your camera gear. So, here are the top 7 reasons that would surely tempt you to buy a new camera gear.
Top 7 Reasons to upgrade your Camera Gear
1. You have used the existing camera to the max
The field of DSLR camera is quite dynamic. Like, when I was a toddler, I would just get attracted to new toys even when I have not played enough with the ones I already had. So, just like that every other day newer features would come up in this field and so every new DSLR camera would seem like a must buy for you. But keeping into considerations the practical limitations, the budget factor and the fact that have you maxed out the camera in terms of its use, you will have to stay away from emotions and be wise while taking the decision to upgrade your camera gear.
2. You have used the accessories in DSLR with full potential
Just like you have experimented with your DSLR, I would suggest that you do the same with the accessories and all the other parts. Before you are looking forward to buy new lenses or may be new accessories, just see if you have maxed out with the accessories as well.
3. The new gear is inspirational
I sometimes feel that my photography career gets bored if I have to do just a few things. When I experiment with new stuff, I always get motivated and inspired. So, during my life span, when I felt that the DSLR that I am already holding is no more creatively supporting me in my goals or to go to the different levels then this would seriously be a time to think of some change. If I want to push the shooting styles and the specs from the old camera has already exhausted, then to push myself to the creative limits I might have to get a new gear.
4. The new camera gear will assist in your profession
I used my old DSLR a lot and I was also satisfied with the quality I got. But somewhere I felt that something is lacking. At that time, when I wanted to get more professional, reach to greatest career heights and also gain a renowned name around. So, for that, upgrading the camera gear was an important decision. Hence, my search began for a new pro DSLR camera.
Some of my friends asked me if I would like to rent but then it was practically not a good decision because I have long term commitments in my career and being a professional photographer I have to get my own DSLR so that I can play with it and tweak the same depending upon the need of the hour.
5. You are no longer getting the manufacturer support
If you figure out that the manufacturer of that camera model or that particular company has dropped the support system then perhaps you should begin the research in regards to the new camera gear. Like, use the camera as much as you can. But be ready to get a new one soon. In fact, if you are a photographer by profession then get one now so that you don’t have to wait when this particular gear wears out completely and then is left alone without any support.
6. You always dreamt for a particular feature in your pro camera
Desires and dreams can never be undermined because they often give you a push to do better in life. If you always dreamt of having some particular features in your professional camera and now when such DSLRs are released in the market then it would surely give you the motivation to buy this new gear. By all means, you would want to get this one and after getting it you will feel like you have achieved something really great in life. This is my personal experience that when your dream is going to get fulfilled, you have to take a step ahead and take plunge over what you want to achieve.
7. Now you are no more a beginner
So, you are no more a beginner now and hence it is time to upgrade your camera gear. Consider the budget, the kind of photography you have been looking forward to, the features of the camera etc. are some of the things you should look at. Since you are no more a beginner, amazing options will come across you and often there would be lot of choices. But invest in those that would give you returns as well in terms of the photo quality that would either make your career bright or make you more creative for sure!
