24 system swaps? It's appears that you might be more enamored with technology than photography. I loved the scene in the recent movie, "A Walk in the Woods," when Robert Redford is approached by an obvious gear head. First, the gear head starts talking advantages of different back packs, and then ask Robert Redford: "So, why did you buy the X8500---?" Redford replies, "Because I thought it would be easier than carrying my stuff in my hands."

Perhaps you should become a camera reviewer. Testing camera systems seems to be your passion.

Haha, yes for a while I was a gear-head, but luckily that's starting to fade.  At least, for the most part.

No doubt, I love playing with new gear, but I was also really undecided in what / how I liked to shoot, and I finally settled down, so to speak.

I thought about doing reviews, but a well-written review is actually a heck of a lot of work and I just don't have the time.  I think my E-M1 review was 10 pages long.
