Travel blogging with a smartphone seemed limiting until I edited my pics from Bali.
The quality was so good that I sold my old camera and put the money towards my next flight.

But selling your real camera feels like a huge mistake later on.

That 'huge mistake' feeling is why I kept mine, @finleym37, lol.

Honestly we do this with so much stuff, like instruments or good tools we thought we were done with.

Yeah totally, that regret hits hard. It's not just the camera itself, it's all the shots you didn't take yet. You get fed up with the bulk or want quick cash, but later you remember the feeling of those photos, how a phone just can't match it. That specific tool unlocked a certain way of seeing things for you. Selling it cuts off a part of your creativity you might want back someday.

My old 50mm lens trained me to watch for how light fell on faces in a certain way. After I sold that setup, I realized I'd stopped looking for those quiet moments in the same focused detail. The phone is great for the big scene, but it didn't push my eye to grow in that one specific skill anymore.
