I am just the opposite, I love my camera, I have found it is such a learning tool for fishing, my catch rates have gone up tremendously because of my camera, I watch the details, I note the structure, the fish's reactions to jigging techniques, you learn the affects of jig colors, presentations and such. To say the camera loses its novelty, to me is wrong, use it as a tool just like your finder, I can tell what type and size of fish I am dealing with, if the fish is to small I whip the jig away so I don't have to catch it. It keeps the slow times interesting, you get to watch the fish suck the jig into its mouth and you never feel it. So you start to try and rip the pole without feeling the hit. You get to learn the fish are always on the move, they are constantly in and out of the area. You can learn to find the paths the fish travel, as affected by structure, depth changes, ect. My advice use it as a tool to learn and it will make you a better fisherman. Its not just a tv set
