The phrases "good enough" and "fit for purpose" spring to mind....because I too am using the wife's D7000 (with zoom lenses) and the X100 more and more. That's mainly because my photography has changed to more casual, holiday, happy snapper mode. Sure one tries to get the best angle and composition. But too often the light is dictated by the time of day you happen to be there and the overal image appearance by the number of people in shot! Nothing is worse than visiting supposed picturesque locations...to find yellow no parking lines, wheelie bins and sky dishes to spoil the image. Sure they can be digitised out...but even I am starting to say why bother? The truth is we need a project to focus our finer photographer skills. Like Eds insects, Roberts flowers, there needs to be more than just recording an event. Until I discover a new challenge, my D3 will be consigned to periodic work shoots. I have two next week....so after not using it for 6weeks I better get it out and remember how to use it. :-)

I glad that someone else feels this way as well.

I really think that there is an 'over-use' of Photoshop to cartoon everything so it looks either fancifully lit with golden false tones, no lines, signs and blemishes. Whilst the image looks 'perfect' for a magazine but it also looks false to the world. This is something that the photo magazines seem to promote as it is part of their 'Learn Photoshop in ten easy lessons'.

Composition and personal style has been reduced to a point where every picture looks the same or similar.

I know it is a question of balance and striking that balance is so difficult.
