I used to have this theory that every electronic should stop working after 5 years, so it forces you to upgrade. Computers, TVs, DVDs, MP3 players, etc.
However, for certain things it should be more like 3 years. Like Digital Cameras. The evolution of digital cameras is more impressive than the evolution of Microprocessors and Hard-disks.
My Canon Digital Rebel is showing its sign of aging. I bought it the same week that Canon released it at the end of 2003. It was the first worth having Digital SLR. When they released the 8MP version (I think it was last year), it wasn't enough of a difference for me to replace mine (w/ 6MP), but now with the 10MP the story starts to change.
The battery of my camera is almost dead. The noisy on low light it is bothering more nowadays (because they new cameras are better). And the flash memory that I use on this camera is so freakin' slow that is unbelievable.
But I'll need to wait at least until next year. Right now all my resources are going to Sampa.
