Finally, somebody else who has come to an understanding about making images and the tools involved in the process. I reached the same conclusion years ago. I pretty much have abandon the pixel chase. Over the years I have found that the simpler the camera is, the more I can concentrate on the subject matter. Some one once said that the best way to learn photography is to take one camera and one lens, and use that combination for several months. I confess to being an old school photographer. And I find the new technology has freed me from the darkroom. I enjoy the digital image, and the ones I like the most come from the simplest, most direct approach is to make the best image in camera and limit the amount of post processing. I'm sure that is the preferred method for a lot of photographers. I learned the real reason for a making a photo was when I used a brown KODAK box camera to take a picture of my father in 1953. He passed two years later. I carry that photo in my billfold to this day. Never pass up a chance to make a good/great photo. Good luck, best wishes to all of you. An old camerabum.
Asb of today, I only have a Q2, a Nikon F6 and my Samsung Cell Phone camera. I may, just may pickup a Sony or Nikon to go digital beyond 28mm thatthe Q2 limits me too. Other than that. I'm set.
Also, I bet if camera makers just put out new cameras every 5 years or so, the market would be more stable. It is quite silly that its a race to see who puts out the next camera.
I've kind of settled on using the x-vario and a vl-114. I'm finding I can get the images I want if I do my part and think about the cameras qualities and limitations. Buying the next great camera is an endless venture I care to avoid.

Well, so much for not buying anything. Sold the Q2. Picked up an M10 and am waiting on a Sony A6600.
