I have looked at the articles on the Nikon D9300, it states likely to come, no clue what it will be. I also do not understand why people discuss this, a new model is maybe exiting news, but certainly not leading to any insight.

I agree. In the end it is the person behind the camera that can take equipment that is not that great and make it work. It is the process of forcing it to work that one hones the right skills instead of relying on technology.

But still there are some useful functions in the higher end models that people who are well verse in photography would appreciate, key things usually are the ability to access certain functions quickly without resorting to button pressing and having a camera body with the focusing motor instead of being limited to a range of cameras that has those built-in.

In the end, it is always the photographer who has to decide what kind of photographer he/she wants to be - the one that has the technical skills that when given any camera the images will still deliver OR one that has to rely on technology to cover up the lack of some skills that ought to be learnt in the first place.

Go back to what imaging is all about - the story, not the equipment.

AWESOME! I have a 5100, and am tempted to get a second camera. I always fear shooting an event and my ONE camera breaks down, so I really do need a second. Funny thing is, I shot an event recently and compared my photos to those of the "pros". I might be biased, but I think my pics came out pretty darn good compared to those take by others, with much more expensive cameras! Even one of the guys who knows my work asked me how I do it. Composition. Vision. Better lens, maybe with a good filter (outdoor shots, used a polarizing filter). Anyone can point and shoot, with a phone or a mega expensive full frame camera. Expensive camera gear does not create great images. Great photographers do that with their skill, no matter the gear and/or conditions. :)
