I was really into flashlights. Some people spend years and years wanting better flashlights, modding them, doing custom firmware, light modes with multi LEDs, and doing some interesting stuff like electronics or the LEDs. I am even into modding them. But honestly how good do you need a camera/flashlight to be? I got bored of it and just use my flashlights, they even call them shelf queens because they're so cheap, the technolgy changes a lot, and its not that expensive to buy newer and newer ones. What are the limitations of your current setup? Is anything that you have right now keeping you from being a good photographer?
Its better to be a user than to be into technolgy fo technolgy's sake. They're good people to know because they get rid of old stuff that is not much worst than the new thing they got for cheap. Nobody is making fun of people for using new equipment, although I see a lot of people with new equipment trying to state their superiority, like OP.
