Of course you can, everybody can. Take a cruel record pressed on CD 
and a qualified re engineered one on DVD-Audio and you will hear the 
difference in CD and DVD-Audio. I must confess that it works the other 
way around as well.

Honestly, this is more of the part what do I need and what do I want. 
I for my part can perfectly live with sRGB on final jpegs. And my 
"old" (this sound strange to me, calling a four year old photo camera 
old - I used my really old Olympus OM-4Ti more than 10 years and the 
OM-2 even longer) EOS 30D may be limited but I can make great photos 
with it.

And this opinion the the only one that counts for your work. If 
someone can proof your work to be better with better technical setup 
it may be a good idea to change. But this is still your choice.
