i've always justified my purchases by thinking of my son. capturing the best shots of him that i can. it's worked out so far. my wife and i are happy with the pictures we have. and, my son is always happy to smile for one more.
You know, I didn't buy when my kids were young...(we have a policy of waiting til we can afford something before we buy...that included our house) so now they are not young and I own what I have....and I WISH I had tons of photos of them when they were young. I have some and they are cheap (throw away camera type)....so there's both sides of the fence. On one side, I have no debt...on another, no fantastic memory shots either. Guess there's pluses and minuses to both....
