A very fine photographer friend of mine purchased a Canon digital outfit.
About $2,000 and obviously full of features. Bottom line is that he said
after a while he no longer felt like a photographer, but a digital
processor, to use his words. He sold the equipment and has gone back to his
LX and manual lenses, and sez he feels like a photographer again.
There's a lesson in this story some where.
