I didn’t mean to imply that there is a right or wrong answer. Of course there are many ways to approach a task, many mindsets that might come into play. If I were shooting for a client with particular needs, if I were shooting a fast-paced event like with motor-sports or a dance competition, or if I were shooting a once-in-a-lifetime event like a bride’s first wedding, then my approach to the process and my attitude toward the desired outcome and my demands of the tools I needed to use would be somewhat different. But what I was trying to get to is that the constant clamor about the newest and greatest technological crutch/assistant in photography may well be good news for those who primary concern (a quite valid concern!) is with “getting the shot”, and pleasing the customer. But those who focus on the craft, the process of photography, may have different feelings about the tools they use, might be less interested in totally automated AI-driven autofocus and white-balance adjustment and depth-of-field aperture decisions, etc.
The real drivers of the camera industry are not the pros or the craftsmen (they are not necessarily the same people), but the people who buy the latest and greatest simply because they like to have the latest and greatest.
These are the people who quite happily upgrade their cameras every year when their manufacturer of choice tells them it's time, often they brand jump back and forth as the various brands leapfrog each other.
Thanks for saying nice things about that little jewelry box. I decided that since I will never be an enjoyer of anything to do with outdoors in the winter, I should find something to do to keep myself out of trouble for the half year that I hibernate.
