Why Camera, Why?!

My M4 decided to bust it’s shutter a few weeks ago. I just got the quote to repair it - $925. I dunno if I wanna pay that much for a camera I bought for $1000.

What do I do? Pay for the repairs, or call it quits and get another M-Mount camera? Or maybe even a completely different system?

"This is the same problem I have with digital photography. The potential is always remarkable. But the medium never settles. Each year there is a better camera to buy and new software to download. The user never has time to become comfortable with the tool. Consequently too much of the work is merely about the technology. The HDR and QTVR fads are good examples. Instead of focusing on the subject, users obsess over RAW conversion, Photoshop plug-ins, and on and on. For good work to develop the technology needs to become as stable and functional as a typewriter."
