Do you ever worry that you have spent or are spending too much on a camera or a lens etc etc?

I would hate to add up what I've spent since Dec 08..
Having spend £500+ on my first DSLR i keep worrying that i shouldn't have spent so much! Wife is ok with it though. Just me worrying about how much i have spent!
Is it not your 6th DSLR?
To be honest I'm not overly concerned about the money I've spent. On the lenses it's not so bad especially if you buy second hand since they hold their value well. For bodies, then yeah you should worry

I would say most of my gear has been bought used through here so value wise not much to loose if any. Biggest new purchase was the D300 when Currys were clearing the last of their stock.
exactly you can always sell the gear for usually not much less than you bought them for if you need to free up some cash. Although it can be an awful lot of money to tie up in camera gear.
You can't take it with you when you die. :shrug:
Exactly. As long as you have enough to make ends meet then if you have some money spare and it makes you happy to buy/have nice gear then why not.You can't take it with you when you die. :shrug:
Maybe the NHS should just tell smokers to take up photography and go and buy some L gass. There sure wouldn't have much spare cash to spend on smokes then!How much would a 20-a-day smoking habit cost? I know which I'd rather spend my money on....
What do you have now? 500D or 7D you have 2 hours ago?
lol. From the threads I've seen, I make it out to be 1000d then got a Pentax K-x as a gift, then read he has the 500d and now 7D. Must be all within a month too.
Collecting glass is one thing but four bodies in a month
It's more than 4 2 x 1000d's, Pentax K-x, 450D, a Samsung, 500d and now possibly a 7D

If you are worried you can't afford something, you probably shouldn't have bought it...
