What is it that you guys gain from all of the stuff you drag around as opposed to my new Sony P&S with the advanced electronics? I certainly don't get it, but I'm sure that you are about to bitch at me about the old school stuff.
I liked the camera so well that I bought a second. Let the sentimental technology thoughts fly ... He went that away ===>

Wow, I really like your eagle.... Really is a great shot.
So are you saying you believe cameras such as Canon's
5D MK III and 1D X, or Nikon's D 800 do not utilize "advanced electronics", and should be considered "old school stuff" and sentimental technology?!?
No knowledgable, clear thinking individual could possibly make statements like that and hope to be taken seriously.
But to offer an answer to any reasonable portion of your question "Why Do You Drag Around Expensive Photo Gear?"... well a lot depends on what you shoot.
If you mainly shoot kids in the backyard, photos of your pets, vacation snaps, scenics, birthday parties and other similar situations, then a P&S will likely be fine for most of those.
If however you shoot action such as sports or wildlife (as I do) then a P&S is just not going to cut it.
Will your "advanced electronics" little Sony get these shots I've posted here?
Maybe, but probably not.
In any case since you have never posted *any* photos here you have taken recently, we have no way to know if you are any good and know what you are doing, and you are in no position to criticize other photographer's choice in gear.
