Even if you would be getting anything in image quality it would be negligible, and unnoticeable to anyone. Digital cameras aren't seeing as high iq advancements as you'd expect from high mouthing media and manufacturer announcements each year. Everything is nearly as close together as it was in film era. I talking this from inch sensors and up to 100mp digital back, and phones aren't lagging behind ether. Worked on few raws, and I guarantee you that only thing they've got going for them, are their resolution size. What still matters is only plain craft, both on the shooting side of it, and on the editing. You can have the highest tech cam on the market, but you'll achieve nothing without these two.
You're wrong thinking there are any pitfalls on the prosumer market. I'm almost suspecting japs of colluding amongst themselves since everything is nearly perfectly priced. Buying new, you always go at least a gen back to get best price for money, but that's as much as you can do, everything else is covered and fool proof. Even going down to Nikon 1, and point and shoot cameras is acceptable. Hell, even phones are acceptable. They're the line where I draw the line, but it's undeniable fact. Get a cheap ten year old pointandshoot. Preferably with some decent controls. Don't bother about mark or model, anything will do. Carefully familiarize yourself with it's controls, and keep it with you for a month. You're bound to start looking differently at technology.
