Discussion How to avoid the trap of wanting new (costly) gear?

7 Upvotes

Using my Nikon D5300 + 200-500mm Nikkor f/5.6 has been a good experience in general. It has been about 6 months now. Before that it was D5300 + 70-300 mm AF-P f/4.5-6.3.

I am constantly checking Nikon cameras (D500, Z50 II, Z5II, Z6III) and even considered Sony cameras (a6700) thinking I may get rid of Nikon kit and get a sony 200-600 mm lens.

I feel like I am in some kind of trap of feeling to upgrade and can't judge if I really should upgrade.

Has anyone been through this feeling and can help me figure out if its a trap and how to get out of it?
