[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 52036, member: 6277"] I would bet that most people would not be able to tell the difference between photos from a D3100 and a D3. Before I get crucified notice I said PEOPLE and Not PHOTOGRAPHERS. I think the most important element in photography is and always will be the person holding the camera and not the camera. At one time I owned two camera stores / Photo Labs and we would have people coming in with photos from their decent little P&S camera that would be absolutely wonderful. We also had other people coming in that had the latest and greatest equipment on the market and I would never see anything but snapshots no matter how hard they tried. Do I think good equipment is worth it? Most certainty. Buy the best camera you can afford and the best glass to go on it BUT read about photography, study about photography and most certainly listen to other photographers that you respect and try to not get your feelings hurt when they don't like your photo. When I started photography 35 years ago I would be upset when i went out shooting and would shoot 2 or 3 36 exposure rolls of film and come back and process them and print contact sheets and would sometimes not get but maybe 1 shot that I thought was worth printing. My mentor told me that if Ii got that many then I was doing pretty good. National Geographic Photographers may shoot 10,000 shots just for the 10 that get published. IT is a lot easier today with digital, shoot as many GBs as you have with you, upload them and week them out in a hurry and post process the ones that catch your eye. Nothing but time spent and no money at this point. Have fun and enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
