A new camera won’t fix a boring idea. It’ll just take a sharper picture of it.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Equipment improves fidelity, not interest. A sharper image of something nobody wanted to look at is still something nobody wants to look at, and the upgrade quietly lets you believe the problem was technical when it was never technical. Better tools raise the ceiling; they do nothing for the floor.

Before buying anything, name the specific limitation you are hitting and check whether the gear addresses it. Usually the honest answer is that the idea needs work. Spend a week on what you are actually trying to say, and then decide whether you still need the purchase.
