Last christmas I tried to make a plan for what photography gear I was looking to get/replace in 2018. After some years going through a lot of gear I wanted to try putting a damper on my GAS, and I've mostly stuck to it!
I wanted to cut away things I wasn't using anyway and I managed to sell off my Panasonic GM5 with lenses.
I wanted to mainly focus on my DP2 Merrill and it has indeed been my main camera of 2017.
It's been quite liberating and at the same time gotten me a lot of images I'm very happy with.
I expected my only camera purchase to be the Ricoh GR mk3, but since it's still not announced that obviously didn't happen. I did manage to pick up a Sigma DP3 Merrill from Ebay with the money I got for my GM5, happy with that trade.
For 2018 my intentions are pretty much the same. The DP2M I expect to be my main camera with the DP3M and Ricoh GR for when I need a different focal length.
I'm considering selling off my dp2Q as I prefer the DP2M, both the files and the size of the camera. Also considering selling my Pana FZ1000 since I hardly ever use it, but we'll see.
The only purchase I'm expecting is if Ricoh delivers a GR mk3 or alternatively Fuji manges to come out with a good successor to the X70 (24mp sensor and 4K video please). That being said, I'm hoping for something amazing to suddenly be announced out of nowhere to give higher image quality at low ISO than my Merrills at a low cost, not holding my breath though
How about the rest of you?
Happy holidays
