As a photographer, this is one of the most annoying things to hear.

 

It isn't the camera, there are so many factors that go into getting good photos.

 

It's like saying, "I wish I had Picasso's brushes so I could paint good pictures."

 

Very true. I have taken some semi decent pictures with a point and shoot that turned out better than I have seen with crazy DSLR setups=P

I have a very entry-level DSLR that I've used to take some awesome pictures.  Some of my friends have dropped over $2000 into a camera body yet still have mediocre results.

 

Hell, there are even people that dedicate their Instagram to photos taken with their iPhones, which actually turn out better than some "photographers" I've seen.

I think he means that as far as the quality of the picture goes.

 

I do know what you're saying though.  Its like complimenting a chef on a meal, saying he must have an expensive grill.

 

Edit: Nevermind, he already chimed in.

yeah but you can't say that having nice equipment can't make a bad photographer (or chef) better. pictures tend to look better with 1bajillion pixels. food tends to not overcook if your grill's infrared sensor tells you the grill is too hot.

 

for instance, that moon shot would have look like absolute crap if someone handed you a crappy P&S, no matter how good you are.
 

but yeah, pro's take great shots with any camera you hand them.

Finally got my pictures developed from memorial weekend in Door County. There are also a few from a roll I took hanging out with TJ sometime last year. They'r not the best, but they were all taken with my 1981 Minolta Hi Matic AF2. I need to learn more about ISO settings
