But I get so much fun out of not being completely familiar with a camera!

Sure. No problem. But look at the regular threads about "What camera` [out of a selection of functionally identical choices] should I take on my vacation?" The only real answer is, "If you don't know, I can't tell you", or possibly, based on your estimable analysis, "Whichever one is the most fun, you fool."But I get so much fun out of not being completely familiar with a camera!

Any which way the cookie crumbles, more is always more. Specially when comes to toys.
There's always more; that's what more means! Said by Robbie the young'un on TV sitcom The Dinosaurs, referring to the last members of a delicious but endangered species.

The 80/20 rule applies
The 80/20 rule applies
Eighty percent of the photos come from twenty percent of the gear.
At least, in a gear-oriented place like this, it's awfully easy to put yourself in that situation.

So true. More than 80% of my photos are taken with 35 and 50. Sometimes I wonder why I keep the rest.

Let us say that 80% of the time, I use a hammer to knock nails into wood. But 20% of the time I use screws. I need a screwdriver then, rather than a hammer. And then, 1% of the time, when I am dealing with nuts and bolts, I need spanners (wrenches in American) or socket sets. I have quite a few tools that I might use only two or three times a decade -- devices for extracting broken bolts, for example, or for removing nuts with rounded heads -- but when I do use them, they are essential. Likewise, if I am shooting a portrait, I know that for one style I'll need my Thambar; for another, a 90 Summicron; and for another, my 8x10 De Vere with the 21 inch Ross.
