This is quite a true statement! I have spend almost three years doing distant learning with New York Institute of Photography from 1989 to 1991 when I was living in East Coast USA and managed to get a certificate from the Institution. Though I think I have all the technical skills down-packed but I still don't have the "eye" of a true outstanding photographer. BTW: my profession in IT related and not in photography.
I am a bit older than you all (my son already graduated from college) but I will be more than happy to join any RC organized photo opportunity if you allow me to. Having spend years shooting 35mm film and medium format films I have totally switched to digital about 3 years ago. Here's my current list of equipment and I do change my gears occasionally:
Nikon D70 with 2 zooms and 5 prime lens
Two Olympus E10s with TCON MCON and WCON converters (yes I have two E10 remains my favorite travel camera)
Nikon CP5000 with the W68 adaptor it yields fantastic 19mm (35mm equivalent) coverage in a very light package
Nikon CP5700 (great all around cam with good quality zoom)
Sanyo MZ3 (fantastic video and use microdrive)
Casio Z3 (good tiny one for my wife to carry around)
Fuji 40i (all in one with camera video and mp3)
Pentax Optio S (my son's favorite tiny camera)
Digicams that I have used (and remembered) last three years and sold:
Fuji S1 Pro DSLR
Fuji S2 Pro DSLR
Canon 300D DSLR and 5 lens
Olympus c5060 and the classic C2100-uz
Panasonic FZ10 and FZ1
Canon G2 Ixux 400 and Ixux V2
Sanyo J1 and MZ2
Sony F55DX and S85
