This is the syndrome where you buy something, typically something expensive that you have been saving up for, and the manufacturer comes out with a newer better version at the same or lower price. You wish you would have waited just a little longer…<\/p>\n

However, this doesn’t take into account the fact that you have used the camera, car, or whatever for a while before the “replacement” came out…<\/p>\n

Case in point, I bought a D600<\/a>\"\" last January, and now Nikon is coming out with a D610<\/a>\"\" . If you have been reading the press releases and reviews, the D610<\/a>\"\" is not really that different from the D600, except a bit cheaper.<\/p>\n

Some people are upset. They feel their fairly new D600 is now worth a lot less than if Nikon would not have released the D610, especially at a lower price.<\/p>\n

My take is that I have been using my camera for almost 10 months already, and I did not buy it as an investment.{{1}} I would not have been able to take (and sell) some of the photos I did. I also would not have had the last while to get to know all the quirks of the camera.<\/p>\n

And of course, to top it all off, Nikon (or someone) will probably be coming out with an even better version, for even less money…<\/p>\n

TL;DR{{2}} Use the tools you have now rather than covet what may be coming in the future.<\/p>\n

[[1]]I had my last camera for almost 10 years. It is still running strong in the hands of my daughter.[[1]]<\/p>\n
