Exactly my point. I wouldn't write off the camera, which I am finally learning to get the most out of thanks to a solid tripod and lens upgrades. At my camera club there are a number of FF and high-end APS-C cameras, but I have managed to get a number of ribbons with my "old" camera.

Good for you, age and "obsolescence" never made a camera redundant in my experience just like bad photography never did the latest and greatest any favours either.
