It seems like everything's just pretty much clustered all together and affected me all at once. Well, it hasn't done that actually, but it just feels like that, just one issue right after another. Cosplay took a bit of a back seat, ditto with anime, and the real progression has been with the photography.
My D3100 was about 3 years old, and 12,000 shots later, it's still been a wonderful companion. However, I had longed for something with wireless control, along with a faster lens. Now, I've already gone on about my issues and where I stood, not to mention my surprise that I would have thought about wanting to upgrade my camera yet again.
