I started off with a small compact camera and progressed slowly up to a DSLR. It took me quite a while to justify it and while I appreciate that there quality of compact cameras has come on in leaps and bounds over the last few years I still get a great buzz from shooting with a chunky, sexy and substantial camera. This is half the enjoyment for me and more than makes up for the inconvenience of having to carry all my equipment around with me.
Sure there are times when I have missed shots through not having my camera with me but chances are that even if I had had a small compact, I would look at the results and compare them to what I may have achieved with the DSLR. For me it’s the striving to achieve the absolute best I can that keeps me driven and interested, getting a second class picture from a compact (compared to what my other equipment can produce) would not give me the enjoyment I get from my photography.
