Sounds quite pragmatic but I think it will be the case. :bsmilie:

I agree too. Might as well plunge right into it. Save you the gnawing inside your heart. Haha...

Credit card installment is good too if you want to lessen the pain. Just be sure to follow up with the payment on time woh...

 

[tecnica]

Credit Card installment better than renting right? Cause he own the camera/lens/grip/etc :bsmilie:

Absolutely no cc payment for hobby items.

Got cash can buy, no cash don't buy.

I don't like to bring a burden around unless it's a definite need.

Haha... Good advice too! I am doing that very much nowadays!

You sure 'later' still got cash not? :bsmilie:

I always tell people so, don't weigh yourself down unless you have no choice.

Don't get too carried away ah!

 

[Halfmoon]

depends.. if you do shoot verticals alot.. it's damn weird to shoot without a grip.

Yes.... I started with 400D, and now, cannot go without grip.... :embrass:

 

[Halfmoon]

Mr. Muscle is Bro Avsquare lah not me. Me is a fat ole fart...

Can don't add grip, and save some weights???? But 5D3 + lens will be almost 1.5kg liao lor....

 

[Halfmoon]

This is good.... but I also ensure that I have enough cash to service the CC in case **** happens....

 

[esoeij]

The word that comes to mind is not 'master' but more like 'broke'. Spend more on camera gear means must cut back on other areas lor! :bsmilie:

 

[avsquare]

I always tell people so, don't weigh yourself down unless you have no choice.

I mean, if you have $4,500 cash with you now for the purpose of buying the 5D3, just swipe your CC first then pay with your $4.5k when your bill come lor, or if not, make advance payment of $4.5k and swipe your CC for the 5D3 lor.. since you are buying it anyways, might as well earns some miles right? ;p

I did the above. Went to top up my Amex card with 4.5k cash, and proceed to by the cam. earned myself quite handsomely on miles. moving closer to my next tokyo trip. need to go tokyo again quickly for a quite relief of my tokyo withdrawal syndrome!

Yeah must always ensure you have the cash to back it up. If swiping the card can give you more benefits like air miles and such, why not? Just always ensure the cash is there to pay it can liao.

Yeah.. With my Zeiss 35/1.4, more like almost 2kg... *sweat*

Most helpful advice!

Most do.... but C*****P**** prices is standard, with CC or cash....

So you have to do your sum..... and decide where to get it from...
