[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 38511, member: 1061"] Not always. Pixel sizes vary as well. The crop factor and a number of other things come into play here. To the OP: Cameras are tools, they are not gadgets where he who has the biggest and most expensive, wins. There are tons of people who can do amazing things with a cell phone camera. There are also people who are stupid rich, and will go out and buy a D3 just because they can...and are unable to do anything with it. From a spec standpoint, yes: the D700 blows the D5100 out of the water. There really is no comparison, as the D700 is a far more capable piece of equipment in every way. Does better gear make you better? Yes. Don't ever let anyone tell you different. The best in the game, any game, use the best equipment available. But you have to know what the hell you're doing or it isn't going to matter. [/QUOTE]
