I wish every photographer’s website started out with the ten pictures (of their own, I mean) they love best. Call it a tenset to give it a name…a set of ten. A core set. A key set. A photographer’s ten best, or ten favorite, or ten most characteristic pictures, up front. Even if they recur in later categories.
The Online Photographer: The Tenset

What’s the cure for camera agony of any sort? Just work. Shoot. Get interested in something. Take stock of what equipment you already have, and figure out what it can be used for. Go shoot. Get involved in the pictures. If your camera isn’t the last word in high ISOs, then find a little more light and shoot at lower ISOs. You’ll live. If your camera doesn’t have the best dynamic range, then avoid high-contrast scenes (there are scenes the A900 won’t handle, either). If your camera won’t print really, really big, then make your prints a little smaller. It won’t kill you, I promise. It ain’t the camera.
