[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 633125, member: 43924"] I think the answer was easier to give when we were still shooting analog. Back then, gear made life easier, but it mattered little, if at all, to how good a picture you were able to shoot. In the digital world, things changed quite a bit, at least initially. I have taken some great shots with a D100 or D200 but, looking at them again, I wish I had the kind of cameras back then that I have today so these pics were at higher resolutions and had less noise than they do. As technology progressed, this has almost become a moot point given how good today's sensors are, but then another phenomenon crept up: with my D500 with good glass and at relatively high ISOs, I now get wildlife and particularly bird shots I would never have been able to get before (except for on a very lucky day), neither with a digital nor with an analog camera. So, my bottom line is that gear matters to me in some areas of my shooting, while very little or not at all in most others. [/QUOTE]
