Dec. 2012 Tip of the Month – When to Upgrade Your Camera

Upgrading to the latest technology is fun and gives you new photographic options, but beyond this, when should you upgrade, and why?

I upgrade when I find myself trying to create photographs that the camera can’t capture. That’s it.

When you find yourself frustrated because you are missing opportunities due the limitations of the camera, consult a professional about what you are seeking to accomplish with your photography. Sometimes this will result in learning new features of your camera, but often it means an upgrade, and a whole new world of photographic possibility.
