Not old and slow.  Just much different types of photography.

I need high ISO performance so I don't have to shoot this at 1/10 second 
when I can't use flash <http://www.chucknorcutt.com/temp/pict3216c.htm>

I need fast, "see-in-the-dark" autofocus so the camera can focus before 
the really big flashes go off <http://www.chucknorcutt.com/party.php>

I need high flash sync speed when I'm forced to compete with the sun on
