I think tripod might be part of "advanced" techniques. It more important to learn basics like exposure (especially lighting), and composition (although it is a complicated and difficult subject).

For street photography, I often like to zone focus, which is easy with the new Oly primes -- the 12mm F2.0 and 17mm F1.8 -- since they have distance and DOF scales.
That's part of the reason I am considering Fuji too, since they have electronic distance and DOF scales in the viewfinder and LCD.
But certainly fast AF is a nice feature for lots of purposes. Lack of speed is a major disadvantage of using a point-and-shoot, just another reason I want to upgrade. My camera takes 7 seconds to write a single RAW file, even longer for RAW+JPEG.
