It’s Not Wasting Money, It’s an Investment
There’s always a weird feeling that comes with making a big purchase.
Before buying my Sony a6700, I spent weeks going back and forth in my head trying to justify the cost. To some people, buying a camera might seem unnecessary or overly expensive, especially when smartphones today already take decent photos and videos.
But the more I thought about it, the more I realized this wasn’t just another impulsive purchase.
It was an investment.
Not just in a camera, but in a skill, a hobby, and a creative outlet I genuinely care about.
Investing in something I’ll actually use
I’ve always been drawn to documenting moments.
Whether it’s everyday life, travel, street photography, or capturing things that simply feel worth remembering, I wanted a tool that could grow with me.
Whenever I was outside doing an sport activity, i took my GoPro everywhere.
The Sony a6700 felt like the right balance between:
- portability
- strong video performance
- photography capabilities
- long-term usability
Rather than buying something temporary, like a point and shoot camera. I wanted something I could learn on and continue using for years.
Expensive doesn’t always mean wasteful
Spending money on hobbies can sometimes feel irresponsible.
There’s always that voice asking:
“Do I really need this?”
But I’ve started thinking differently about purchases like this.
Money spent on things that help you:
- create
- learn
- improve a skill
- build experiences
isn’t always money wasted.
Sometimes the bigger waste is never starting because you were too afraid to invest in yourself.
More than just gear
With this camera, I want to:
- improve my photography skills
- document everyday life more intentionally
- experiment with visual storytelling
- capture moments I’d otherwise forget
A camera doesn’t magically make someone creative, but it can become a tool that pushes you to practice and notice more.
