Re: You bring up some good points, and...

I have made comparisons in the past between music and photography.  I too was into hi-end audio back in the 1990s and became too obsessed.  Where music and photography align is that they each have an art and a technical component.  I have been envious of people who can filter out the technical side and focus almost solely on the artistic side.  These people look at the content of a photo or the melody/message of a song and appreciate the essence of either one.  I need a mixture of both to truly enjoy music or photography.

I am also working on not making photography the main focus of a vacation, family gathering etc.  I missed a lot of good times and memories fixating on getting photos.  One reason I keep gravitating toward smaller gear is to keep me from being temped to spend too much time on the technical side of snapping a photo.  This is the reason the M100 attracts me because it has good IQ but you can't get too wrapped up in using it and missing moments that can't be substituted by taking a photo.
