Like, if I get a new camera, I'm not going to cheap out. I'm going to buy exactly what I want, as good of quality as I can internally justify. I'm not going to half-ass it to save money.
But the problem with that is my rig is at the payload limit as it is. It will *not* be happy with a new chonky boi camera on there too. I will need to get a new mount too, which is going to be the same deal as the camera: best thing I can afford.
A new camera is a non-trivial and insanely expensive upgrade.
