[QUOTE="Gatorbait, post: 96752, member: 11218"] Thank you for all the responses! Very interesting comments. I guess my take is great/good gear does not necessarily make a great/good photographer, but the better tool you have to ply your trade, the better the odds of getting the results you're hoping for -i.e. great photography. Would you get a better picture from a D7000 or D4 using the same high quality lens if both were taken on auto (identical settings) of the same scene, subject, etc.? Great doesn't necessarily equate to expensive, because if you compare results from a D7000 vs that of a D800, the results you get are not totally a result of the cameras. It's also a reflection of lens, experience, and the x-factor of the photographer "seeing" a picture. But, I have always heard that money is better invested into yours lens collection, so I am glad to hear that opinion voiced here as well. I wholeheartedly agree with stmv - you still have to learn to photograph with the equipment you're blessed with, and that's what I've determined I need to do.
