Whilst that may have some relevance, it's not necessarily a good
comparison. Recordings are subject to a different set of problems than
photos. Also, if you were giving ballet a try, and your feet were
uncomfortable in $5 shoes, is your resulting desire to 'give it up'
your genuine lack of enjoying it, or just the pain in your feet. (And
in any case, you already say above you wouldn't enjoy it before buy
the shoes, so the comparison is a bit mute)
I'm not saying buy expensive gear. I'm saying BE CAREFUL that you
don't loose interest BECAUSE of the gear rather than your desire to
record good audio. You need to be able to assess the problem for what
it is.
