if you are a lonely, totally single "hobbyist" or a "single" hobbyist (man wants AWAY from wife, AWAY, for DAYS) aight, a d850, and the biggest lens there is, is the best camera there is. the entire point is spending more time and not doing more than one thing.
if you are taking your camera with you on family outings or while traveling for work suddenly you want it smaller
but you also dont want it to look like shit like fuji, m43
so that sony a7(r)iii, a6-6/7-00 or walmart canon (rp/r8) is cheap and great yeah? i know this is about updating gear but most people stop here. normie choices. they use it and enjoy themselves. snappy autofocus, customizable controls, sharp lenses, lots of megapixels, full frame quality, all that. you don't need more.
the internet tells them
BRO THAT CAMERA DOES NOT JUST SUCK IT WILL RUIN YOUR FUCKING LIFE IT WILL BREAK WHEN IT MATTERS MOST IT WILL MISS THE MOST IMPORTANT SHOT IT WILL RUIN ALL YOUR PHOTOS YOU NEED A CANON R6II L LENSE G9II PANALEICA GET A NIKON AUTOFOCUS IS FINE! LOL NO VIDEO BECAUSE IT DOESNT DO DCI 4k 60 WITHOUT A CROP! LOL THE READOUT SPEED, LOOK AT THIS FREEZE FRAME ZOOM IN OF A WHIP PAN!
if they take this bait, it begins
they buy. the new one. it has to be better. the fucking weather sealing bro. the baby mount bro. the autofocus bro. the PROS bro. maybe sony is fine, but the PROS dont use that sony, wheres the 10 bit log 4k60, they at least gotta get an a7iv.
but this comes... with disappointment. the money spent goes up. the goodness received actually goes down. they start missing things, because they've bought into the era where snoy revved up the cripple hammer and canonikon half assed it or m43 is well, m43
with disappointment comes another purchase, and another, and another, they must escape, but they've been memed so hard they can't backtrack. soon they reach the peak of mt gearfag or have a melty and downgrade to an x100vi.
