Yes - tons of features on today's DSLRs - I rely on just a couple tools - maily keep the shutter speed twice the focal length to help ensure sharpness. I strive for lighting - good lighting is everything. Also would spend more on glass than a camera body because I think glass is the central part of how to capture a scene. And when I process I work in layers to maintain the original image integrity
My Buddy used to tell me never to shoot under 1/125 shutter speed, or you chance movement blur. I think the new digitals are more forgiving in that manner than the film cameras.

Yes lenses, holy cow, you can spend a small fortune on glass, but, ya gotta have it with an SLR, digital or otherwise.

Do you shoot in RAW? I hear that you never have to worry about degradation when processing a RAW image.
