Tomorrow's technology

Since 2004 I have owned four DSLRs. That averages out to a 'life-cycle' of 15 months for my cameras. Far too short in terms of wearing down the camera's mechanical parts which I would put at roughly 10 times longer than I actually use them. And don't even get me started about the lenses. Unless the lens is truly stellar, I have this urge to sell it after a couple of months and buy something else just to test if it lives up to my (way too) high lens standards.

It seems to be an unquenchable thirst for newer, better camera gear. Sigh!
