To improve aspects of my photography, I've been checking out some of the free courses from NewsU for photojournalism courses to analyse what makes a good photograph. It has been educational - I recognize some of the contest winners (well their photos anyway - Obama running up the stairs for instance) and some photos are just spectacular.
Even when you've got the camera in your hands, you still need to look for the one that'll make the most impact.

DPS Advice
I just read this off of Digital Photography School - http://digital-photography-school.com/do-you-have-too-much-camera-gear
1. Keep a list of what you use and don’t use during a photo shoot.
At the Bovaird photoshoot I used (plus my 50mm and 18-55mm lenses):
a) Reflector + tripod to hold reflector
b) my 55-200mm VR lens
c) SB-400 flash backed off slightly to underexpose + rechargable batteries
At the Fall Colours photoshoot I actually used (though I had tripods, reflectors, monopod, reflector plus my 50mm and 18-55mm lenses):
a) my 55-200mm VR lens
b) SB-400 flash backed off slightly to underexpose + rechargable batteries
2. Push the limits of your existing gear. Good advice.
3. Focus on adding knowledge, not gear, to your camera bag. Better advice.
