does it actually matter?
if you want to use your 1920s chisel to fashion a carving & I want to use my power tools, who cares, it's the end result that matters.
I do find it irritating when people criticise others when they want new gear with the implication that they are somehow better because they don't use the latest whizz-bang technology & really understand the mechanics of photography without reliance on the technology, as if everyone should be forced into some kind of photography apprenticeship at the feet of the old masters before they are allowed to take pleasing photos.
So what? people can still produce utter rubbish on film with an old camera. Using technology has nothing to do with producing decent photos, and if people get pleasure from buying new toys & using them, that's great. I don't see that as any reason to criticise them.
