With respect, Matti, those are very personal and subjective views... no doubt valid for
you, but not for
everyone. I can't speak for our other members, but I have a variety of reasons and goals for shooting the different cameras and lenses I own, and a variety of reasons for how I choose to shoot them on any given occasion (including whether I use a tripod or shoot hand-held). Just as you do, of course. But our reasons and goals probably aren't the same...
