Do you find yourself constantly after the latest and greatest technology?
If you are anything like me (a huge nerd) you probably own or lust after the newest gadgets and gizmos. It is an expensive hobby and really never ends. I got my digital SLR, a Canon T1i, shortly after it was released. I have used it and loved it, but it wasn't long before I was lusting after the 50D and now more recently the 7D.
Yesterday, we went to Six Flags Magic Mountain. Being the nerd that I am, I wanted pictures, but didn't want to carry my big, expensive camera nor risk getting it damaged. I dug up my old point and shoot and charged the battery. After getting home and looking at the pictures, there are some pretty awesome shots! Obviously, it doesn't quite have the same capabilities, but realistically it can do about 90% of what my big, fancy camera does and it is generations behind in technology.
Here is one of my favorite shots of the day with the old point and shoot:
So I guess the point of this thread is do you really need the latest and greatest technology? Have you found an old piece of technology that is still doing a great job?
