Amen, Alan.  The best camera will always be the one we have with us.   You 
have some terrific stuff at your link.  Can't wait to view it large and at 
leisure.  I love "Shooeing" -- among others.

What you do is take the picture and be glad to have a camera with you.  I've 
been lucky enough to have won 110 photo awards, and I've taken prize winners 
with cameras ranging from DSLRs, Nikons, Leica M's and LTM's, Rolleis, an 
Ansco Super Speedex, a Konica III, all the way to my home-made wooden 4x5 
camera.  I used what I had and was thankful for the photo opportunity.
