When you get to my age, you're allowed to be self indulgent. I
understand where Chu is coming from. Once I would ask myself if it was
something I would get value from. Nowadays, If I see something I want, I
just buy it. No more guilt trips!

When I bought my Nikon DSLR I said to myself "This is the last camera
I'll probably ever buy, what the ****!"

I find small pocket digital camera a better bet as I am more likely to
carry it. I have two cheapies and they are handy for those candid shots
that pop up unexpectedly. I might just buy another with higher
resolution in the near future. The DSLRs just seem too bulky to carry
around unless you're into some serious photography. I used to use my old
SLR about 30 or 40 years back when I was travelling OS a lot and didn't
mind carrying some gear. Hmm, now that I come to think of it, I wonder
where that camera is? I haven't seen it for over 25 years.

My problem with small stuff is that I lose it. I have a very nice Fuji
4.4 MP camera slightly larger than a Minox. Somewhere.

I do serious photography, if you mean using depth of field and other
variations from the "point and shoot" Green setting. I have a 105 mm
lens and a 200 mm lens. I still have a 35mm SLR, but going to the Rite
Aid is a pain. I do have a killer picture of the comet I took on it. How
many you got one of those?
