Brian & Roy,
Here are my thoughts on incremental improvements to Digital cameras and fishing rods with the understanding that, like some of you, I’m probably more comfortable behind the curve than on top of it. For photos, I believe it’s the eye of the photographer and a good lens that results in capturing a great shot. The camera is secondary. Also, many shots taken are manipulated in photoshop or other program which further blurs the difference between camera generations. As far as rods go, there are many of us who use bamboo or glass and are still able to catch fish. If a 100 foot cast into a 6 inch area is required, I’ll try to get closer or just pass up that opportunity. There will be more. Improvements in their material composition or manufacturing techniques have been made, but not to the extent that every two years you feel compelled to keep buying. I agree that incremental improvements are necessary to fuel demand and keep the manufacturers in business. That’s a good thing, especially in today’s economy. However, at this stage in life for me, it’s more about the enjoyment than the acquisition. It was not always so.
