Bad case of NAS...stop me before I spend again!!

[tekriter]

OK, a few days ago I was in a local dealer, the only one in town who has people that know anything, picking up some 8x10 photo folders...

As is my habit, I'm looking in the used lens case to see if they have anything interesting. Salesman comes by, a new guy I've not seen there before, and asks "Are you a Nikon guy?", and of course I say that I am. He asks if there's anything he can show me, and I reply "just looking". He asks which Nikon I have - D50 - he says "very nice, have you seen the D200?"

Before I know it, a D200 is in my hands. He asks about my favorite shooting - sports, especially high schools - and immediately starts telling me why the D200 is soooo much better for me than the D50 - higher ISO's, better resolution, fast shutter speeds, fast cycle time, flash commander, etc.

Anyway, I'm playing around with it as he speaks, nodding my head, and I'm liking it a whole lot. He keeps on, speaking softly, mentioning the larger viewfinder, the larger LCD, more autofucus points...and I'm actually starting to mentally calculate how this would fit on my credit card. I feel light-headed, dreaming of what I could do with this incredible machine.

Suddenly an image of my wife screaming 'WHAT THE #$%&@ DID YOU BUY NOW!!:mad: :mad: :eek: " appears in my brain, and I hand the D200 back, thank the man for the information, and get out while I still could...

Friends, NAS is an insidious thing...from now on I'm only going in that store with a buddy who can pull me out before I take the plunge!!

[DonSchap]

This is a angonizingly familiar story. In fact, I am convinced this is why the girlfriend marries their boyfriend ... to stop the poor ass's spending on the "fun stuff" and have them start spending on the "home stuff" and her stuff.

After you turn 45 or so ... she will finally turn you out to pasture ... after having milked you for three kids, a car, a house and more than half your stuff. Why not? She's through getting all she wants from ya and you certainly weren't "the man" she ever expected you to be. Just some workaholic who didn't know how to have "any fun!" :eek:

You will have, of course, missed all that wonderful time that you could have had with the stuff you really wanted (if you hadn't put on the "Suffer Ring") and can now live, 20-years-later, without all the stuff you used to have.

Ah, the Nikon D50 ... like driving a YUGO, huh ... after having cruised around in a Cadillac. Let the suffering commence. :(

[jcon]

Tekriter, there is no doubt the D200 is far better than the D50. If you could afford the upgrade, why not? You only live once, enjoy it!

I cant wait to see what the women here have to say about that second post:D

but it was only a few months ago that I casually mentioned to her "Honey, did I tell you about the 80-200 f2.8 I ordered? :) :) :o "

[shoeytennis]

my girlfriend will kill me while im saving up my money for a d2x haha.
oh dang im going to die.

[DonSchap]

Okay, not that a fella has a lot of stuff, in the beginning. Get all YOUR stuff together ... take a really great image of it. Then RRRRRIP the image in half ... and then ask yourself: "Do I REALLY, REALLY ... REALLY want to get married?" I think you'll get the picture of where this is going. ;)


Just buy what you want ... smile to yourself as the yelling (actually female-toned shrieking) eventually subsides (remember, this kind of nonsense will go on no matter what you buy for yourself, until you are 45, anyway, then she will be gone - with your stuff - and it won't matter, anyway!) knowing these days are numbered, but also with the knowledge that at least you enjoyed yourself, once in awhile.

Remember, women may come and go ... but a good image is ... timeless.

Just ask the "Collusus of Rhodes" ... oh yeah, he's come and gone - no image to tell the tale.

GET THE SHOT!

Sounds like someone has women problems.

[DonSchap]

You got me. I'm the only guy out there with a wife who doesn't understand the "photography bug".

Yeah ... and the bears are now using the outhouses, in the woods. :p :rolleyes:

If that person is really your buddy, he or she is there with you making the same type of purchases.

but it was only a few months ago that I casually mentioned to her "Honey, did I tell you about the 80-200 f2.8 I ordered? :) :) :o "
Myself, I first purchased the D50, then later the 70-200mm F/2.8 VR. However, since I purchased the faster lenses, I figured I needed the faster camera body as well--which led to my purchase of the D200.

Sounds like someone has women problems.
Considering the divorce rate in the USA, someone could just view life realistically.

LOL. Some of the guys I know not only have to ask if they can make purchases, but their subject matter and photography time is limited. Basically, their money is no longer theirs because it belongs to the wife and their time is no longer theirs because it is spent on "honey dos". Honey do this, honey to that.... In my opinion, a very sad form of voluntary servitude and censorship. It also reminds me of a quote, "A house is nothing but a cage for a husband." Original author unknown though I seem to recall reading the quote in Forbes.

[SamPhilly]

The darndest things happen to me in camera stores. I went in thinking I need a holster case and perhaps an external flash, come out with a 18-200 VR. I couldn't let that pass. The one saving grace in our marriage is that we each get a weekly allowance.

I understand that but to assume every man in the world allows himself to be controlled by women is wrong, this is a photography site so I wont get too deep into it but if your getting controled by your spouse, then thats your fault, not the spouses.

"Realistically", not all end in divorce or the women "milking you for kids and money" To paint a picture with such a broad brush that women are after one thing, is kind of unfair.

Ah well, we all are entitled to opinions, enjoy shooting with your cameras everyone!:D

[FTO13]

Just curious, since I'm new to the Nikon world. What is NAS?

You will be whistling a new tune when that "magic day" arrives, my friend.

It could be coupled with the "change of life" (C-O-L), the kids leaving the nest, you leaving your shoes in the wrong place too many times ... something just snaps and WHOOSH ... papers are served and half your crap disappears.

This is the world of advanced Photography. Get the picture? :eek:

Lenses and spouses are diametrically opposed.

19590 vs 19588

I think I saw it written in the manual, somewhere.

[TNB]

I understand that but to assume every man in the world allows himself to be controlled by women is wrong, this is a photography site so I wont get too deep into it but if your getting controled by your spouse, then thats your fault, not the spouses.

I also don't seem to recall writing or assuming that every man in the world allows himself to be controlled by a women; however, if you can locate that in print, post a link. As a matter of fact, I know numerous foreigners and have lived overseas where women are still basically considered property. I also know numerous divorce attorneys.

Do you know how to say or write "wife" in Spanish? If not, it is "esposa". And of course, the plural is "esposas". However, "esposas" can also mean handcuffs. In the USA, I also seem to hear the phrase "ball and chain" referred to by some couples.

Personally, I'm not controlled by a spouse either since I am already divorced, which leads to the next question: Are you or have you ever been married and been divorced? In my case, I spent a lot of time on active duty or at least too much for the one asserting such vows as "until death do us part." Either that or I simply survived and no one got to collect the life insurance. Then again, I've known a few widows and have known of a few unsuccessful "contracts".

Any wedding photographers out there? Of those weddings, are all of them repeating such words or making such promises "as until death do us part". Any ante or prenuptial agreements--which must be in anticipation of a falling out.

Just curious, since I'm new to the Nikon world. What is NAS?
In this useage, it would be "Nikon Acquisition Syndrome."

Sucks to be most of you.
I have never had 1 issue of purchasing any item
Camera, Bass boat, Lures, handguns, rifles, pistols etc..

It is in the communication maybe?

I let my wife know what I would like to get and she does the same.
We then either think... can we wait until income tax, or put a few $ each paycheck away for it.

It is really not that hard.


got my d80 yesterday am no issues at all
heck she even went with me to the store..
:D:D:D

It also probably helps that your wife likes the Nikon D50 and probably likes to take photos of your children as well--a common interest helps keep the bond. ;)

I think its more of letting a person enjoy a hobby.
She can shoot pistols and rifles but can care less.
she can fish but can care less to go

the camera?

well she would have been just as happy if I got her a Sony H2 or H5.

on the other hand she also purchases stuff I have no interest in.

[DonSchap]

What's hers is hers and what's yours is hers. It's a marital rule. If you don't like it ... well, once that document gets filed... half of what you have will be hers, anyway. So ... take the picture of your stuff ... and get rippin'.

I suppose there may be some merit to the idea of buying the expensive camera and lenses AND a matching set of cheaper stuff, just so you can give it to her when the day finally comes ... and it WILL come. It's really not a question of "IF", it's more a question of when. She's going to go for the jugular ... so being prepared, for that eventuality has some serious merit.

I know it sounds almost rediculous to a young married couple, but you have to believe that there is an entire class of sub-human (lawyers) dedicated to family law, and this is not by accident. Your current marriage is a dam, waiting to burst and they are the beneficiaries from that disaster, not you. They will drain your river dry, until there isn't another single penny that can be gotten from your divorce. What yours is now the lawyers. Plain and simple. Wisdom says, "Hide your assets well." :cool:

If its going to come and you have this idea imprinted in your "brain" that women are out to take everything you have(or more than half as u say) then why are you married? Yes, marriage can end in divorce, many reaasons go into that outcome, early pregnancy, thinking they will change once married, rushing in without thinking, not being meant to be together and many many more. Don, if you have so much bad luck with women, maybe its time you give the other side a try, then you wont have to worry about divorce and losing half your stuff.

TNB, my "men being controlled" comemt wasnt direected at you, it was in lieu of what Don said about men not having a say, but I thank you for the little Spanish lesson anyway....

Dave, I agree 100% with everything you said, marriage works fine if its between 2 people that SHOULD be married, some on the other, have no business even considering marriage and this thread is proof!

This thread has become a waste of time and its pointless for me to continue, so if the rest of you would like to continue the women bashing then enjoy. Ive said what I wanted to say. Good luck to you all, some of you will need it.

[DonSchap]

Okay ... there still may be money in "Wedding Photography", but darn little in an equally popular event ... yes, I speak of "Divorce Photography."

Rarely, if ever, are cameras allowed in the court room ... and why is that?

Because that camera equipment can be easily confused with the poor schmuck's equipment, which is being divided up. :eek:

Perhaps, if we press hard on the "Divorce Photography" idea ... there may be a tidy profit to be made from this exciting and often dramatic event. Obviously, there won't be a ring-bearer or cute, little flower-girl, but just a process-server, judge, stenographer and pair of representing lawyers.

I know what you are thinking ... "Go ahead, Don ... get a few Divorce Actions under your belt and get back to us." I suppose that is fair, but if anyone would offer some assistance in this regard ... I'm sure the crew could benefit from it.

To be honest, I do not believe the judge will want a copy of his image.

Shoot, I guess being a woman with a camera bug and being married to a guy without one just isn't heard of on this board. But it is nice to be reminded that my hubby isn't near as big of an a$$ as I sometimes think he can be. :o

TNB answered that.... "Nikon Acquisition Syndrome."
I learned what NAS meant while conducting a self-diagnosis sometime during the ongoing upgrades. ;)

[tekriter]

I had no idea I was gonna start this kind of a bash thread!

All I intended with my story was to point out the hypnotic effect of NAS, and how it can take over the logical parts of your brain...

As far as my wife "controlling" me, I assure you that's not the case. What IS true, however, is the respect I have for our marriage to not drop that kind of money without discussing it first. I went in to that store to spend $10, not $1600.

And I'm already well past 45, Don. Been married a lot of years, and I don't fear "splitting my stuff" because we EACH have too much to lose by getting a divorce. In fact, an attitude like yours would make divorce much more likely, in my opinion.

But I've been married long enough to know how to live within a budget, and how NOT to spring surprises on my wife that put gaping holes in that budget.

[DonSchap]

Fair enough!

Some folks learn by trial and error, others ... error by trial. :p

Not all marriages wind up working like they should. You need only watch daytime television to see the wild and seething ripple effect of disturbed people who tie-the-knot, when they should not. Money issues tend to haunt our lives on a daily basis. Let's face it, you just never know when the ol' rug is going to get pulled out from under you, and there you sit ... no camera, amid hundreds of your favorite "memories" captured with your "mini-dark-room." It could be the result of a natural or "un-natural" disaster, the result is the same ... that chapter is OVER! (Muscial echoes are heard of "The Way We Were (http://209.197.89.57/19580222/pop/barbrastreisand/The_Way_We_Were.mid)" <-- just try recycling it, if it fails ;) )

Unpredictability aside, I say when the decision to buy a decent camera is presented to you, don't grab the cheap one. You only impose someone else's limits on your art. That usually is an undesirable trait and quite unsatisfactory. Just swallow hard and make the "right decision" for your situation ... and don't let someone make it for you. They are not pulling the shutter, YOU are. Take some responsibility and quit deferring it to a "non-artist."

That's why there is the "photographer" ... and the "subject." A collaborative effort to produce ... your art. Use the best stuff you can get your mitts on. :D

Remember: "NAS" is just a side-effect of not doing (or not being allowed to do) it right ... the FIRST TIME!

Edit: I may have misunderstood "NAS" from the beginning (it could happen) ... is it more along the lines of "If I had more, I would want more ... even if "more" is just duplication?"

Amen.

I would love a D200. And if I got one, I would get better shots of my husband in his bike races and maybe he would then feel justified in upgrading to an $8000 bike. Of course, we both feel that our first priority is putting food on the table and a roof over the heads of our three children (that I milked him for :rolleyes: ).

Edited to add: 'Til death do us part meant something to us. ;)

[DonSchap]

I am aware that not every person involved in photography falls under the same broad brush, but those who do suffer under particular circumstances should easily feel familiar with the scenario described.

For those who read this and feel it simply does not apply, I ask you to simply wave it aside as the clamouring of some poor, unfortunate photographer, caught in the middle of a tempest without weatherproofing his rig. :(

Life goes on ... go get the shot as it passes by. :D

They are not pulling the shutter, YOU are.

If only everyone could take what you call "the right decision" with such ease. Don, sometimes I think you are overlooking that not everyone is as rich as you are. Photography is not the only thing in the world, and not everyone is willing to sacrifice everything else just so that they can get "the best stuff they can get their mitts on".

So you say that to use a D50 compared to a D200 is imposing someone else's limit on your art. That's just nonsense. It's exactly what someone would say who is trying to sell the camera. Sure, the D200 is a large improvement over the D50, with many features that are very nice to have, such as the better viewfinder and the faster burst mode. However, almost all pictures that are taken with the D200 can just as well be taken with the D50 (at a slightly lower resolution). Sometimes enough is enough. I believe that for the fast majority of the users the D50 is more than enough to realize the full potential of their creativity.

One may wish to get the best, but remember that in a time not too long from now, today's best is already outdated. Settling for a D50 allows you to spend more on other things (be it photography related or not), which I think makes perfect sense. You will "get the shot" anyway...

[tcadwall]

This thread prompted me to try out the "ignore" feature. Pretty kewl feature.

And, when I bought my D50, the D200 didn't exist. So it never was a choice between the D200 and the D50, rather, it was a choice between the D70 and D50.

I chose the D50 based on price, primarily. I still have a kid in school, so there are limits.

[DonSchap]

Well ... when my time came to go digital ... it was the "famous four": the Canon EOS XT (350D), Nikon D50, Canon EOS 20D or the Nikon D70s.

Through happenstance, I had both the EOS 20D and the D70s in my home at the same time. I looked through all the aspects of both and ... well, you know how it turned out. A choice had to be made ...

First off, I'm not rich or anything of the sort. I work like every other wage slave in the US of A and spent ten years of my young life in the US Navy, working for less than minimum wage. I got tired of having to settle for the scraps at the bottom (due to the demands of my nation) and decidedly demanded, of myself, to reach up and grab on to those things I truly wanted. So, I released myself from indentured servitude and used what I had learned to improve my lot in life. Many others have stayed behind, but I make no apologies for WANTING and OBTAINING anything. You make choices and the bottom line to all of this is ... make the choices that are right for YOU.

So, if I wind up with solid tools for my chosen hobby, so what? You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Neither will the best brushes in the world make you a better artist, but they certainly shouldn't hurt your desire to be. The seven P's will serve here, quite well: Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss-Poor Performance. Getting a good and reliable "tool" before you tackle a job usually assures you a modicum of success. The knowledge you will gather using that tool will usually accelerate your ability to deal with issues as they arise. We obviously weren't going to the Moon with a CO2 bottle and a nozzle under our chair. It took something a bit more sophisicated ... and expensive. How expensive? It took a nation!

So while you may be concluding that your reach exceeds your grasp ... I contend that if you moved closer ... you may just solve that problem. (BTW: You do have to get out of your seat to do it.) :p

Just get good equipment ... and quit dreaming about it.

Look, what you use is relatively unimportant to my contention. If you decide to shoot through a brick ... knock yourself out.

The thrust of this was: simply buy the equipment you need to be successful. Don't be afraid to spend upfront ... rather than being conned into buying less than you really need. If that is simply a piece of clay and a pinhole, so be it. More power to ya.

So go on with your Nikon rants, if you need to. I'm not debating their quality in lieu of any other camera brand. I made my choice long ago ... fairly and without your advice. I didn't ask for your advice, then, nor do I need it now. :D The power of my many experiences have taken good care of all that, thank you very much. Although, I will keep you in mind, if I come to a shortfall, along the way. :D

If that is simply a piece of clay and a pinhole, so be it.
So have you shot with a Hasselblad H3D-39? At $32K, I can't really afford one though a 39 megapixel camera would be nice to make quality posters and perhaps for billboards. Although I did check out a few brands, including Canon (and have spoken to a few people who own that Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II on your wish list), I did eventually settle for a Nikon D200 after starting with a Nikon D50. The thing is that the people I have met who shoot Canon professionally don't have anything bad to say about the Nikon D200--some also just switched from Nikon to Canon because they are now sponsered by Canon. ;) Ironically, the only negative comments I encounter about Nikon from those shooting Canon are from those shooting the low-end Canon cameras as if they are attempting to justify their own purchase.

I chose the D50 based on price, primarily. I still have a kid in school, so there are limits.

So then; what's your loss on selling your D50 now? Figure $35/mo depreciation - so if you've had it 10 months that's $350. Barely the cost of basic cable! If you were in there picking up 8x10s then you obviously get good use from your photo-toys.

So; rather than telling her you "spent $1000 over the cost of reselling the old one", tell her you're good for 2 years and it's sure cheaper than motorcycles, skiing, or just about any other "expensive hobby".

Also mention that the recent lens purchase was more like a fine art investment and you can recover 85&#37; of that at a day's notice on FM but in 5 years it'll be worth 115% due to US inflationary factors.

Anyway; it's worked with my wify thus far.

You won't believe it, but for a billboard all you need is 8 to 10 megapixels, since the billboard won't be close to the ones looking at it, you don't need an H3D for it ;), believe me I was amazed when I saw all the process..... ;)
