You already have enough gear. Because DPR is a GAS forum, I am not surprised although a bit dismayed that some are suggesting you buy even more gear. It's always easy and fun to spend other people's money

Very true.

Based on your photos you still have room for improvement so I suggest attending photography workshops including post-processing skills workshops. You can combine these with travel for even more fun and personal growth. The gear you have are actually compact enough that you can even bring all of them in one travel bag. People with dslrs would not be able to accomplish the same feat. So to keep GAS going you might want to post a question asking about people's bag recommendations!

To that end, I like using a Think Tank Digital Holster for hiking or going light, and a TT Retrospective 7 if I decide on more gear. Toploading bags are quick to access, and help with manipulating gear. If I ever felt the need to carry more than what the Retrospective 7 can hold, I'd use a non-photo backpack with the Digital Holster at my side. Photo-specific backpacks don't make sense for me, especially when I already have better options.
