[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 50140, member: 3903"] Does it really have to be all rational? Also if you include the sale of your present camera, wouldn't you be investing less? I don't think I can give you arguments to win over your spouse. I think you'll just have to have a honest an open talk with her about this. There should be no beating around the bush. If she can understand that your camera desires (make sure you mention that there is no need) would make you happy, if you won't be depriving her of any basic needs AND you agree to fill some of her desires as well, there should not be a problem. Now I don't know about your financial situation, but unless you're a professional, you would be ill advise to borrow money to get this new camera. But maybe you just need arguments to convince yourself (This happens to me quite often). Then maybe we can help. ;) Since we are on this forum I would say we all suffer, to a certain degree or another, of NAS. New toys are always nice to have. But I try to remember what it really feels like after getting it. I sometimes wonder if it was really money well spent... [/QUOTE]
