So true! The only people who benefit from all this expensive gear are the people selling it.
It's the same with writing. I've used Microsoft Office for years and I know it inside out.
But no. Suddenly there's Notion and Google dox and Trello and a host of other products that people rave about. I look at them and think, 'But can't PowerPoint/Word/Excel/Outlook' do that?
And for around $20 a month for five users, it's a hell of a lot cheaper too!
Yeah - I used to have GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome in my photography... Finally I stopped and only got gear when I truly hit a roadblock. That is the only time to get something new, and before you do, do your best with what you have at your disposal and practice, practice practice... here is an earlier photo of my wife, sure its not perfect but I still love it... and I appreciate her for posing for me! https://qr.mso.to/ss-silent-ones

So smart (and sustainable) to ask the question about whether what u have already does that! Save you so much learning time and cash.
Exactly. And most tech doesn't live up to the hype.
So right, Kirk. Get the gear only when you need it, facing a roadblock.
