i do legitimately think i will enjoy each and it'll enrich my life though, so

you can always tell when someone has a real camera, i find. not in a competitive way but just in that it adds an extra sort of warmth or realness to it

Enjoy the books, they look like a great read.

someone has a real camera

Now there is a loaded phrase.

What is a real camera in your opinion?

I zoomed in on the picture and didn't see any film grain.

Are you using a digital camera?

I know many people who will tell you that is not a real camera.

Personally I find this sort of elitism very much gate-keeping.

I have shot on digital both camera phones and Nikon DSLRs

I have shot on film, 35mm, 120, and 4x5 and 8x10 bellows cameras.

The best camera is the one you want to use and the one you have on you when you want to take a picture.

“The best camera is the one you want to use and the one you have on you when you want to take a picture” Yup

the best camera is the one you left at home, the 2nd best is the one you have with you.

Here is the real wisdom, that's why I always carry an RX100
