[QUOTE="JoeLewisPhotography, post: 60033, member: 3571"] you are right, in saying that not all pros with pro gear are good...of course their are pros who suck lol. I was referring to a good pro...though a good pro, even if handed an entry level camera should be able to get the job done...it may not be up to par as if he had his pro gear..... it all comes down to knowledge and, well, talent. who is shooting that wedding with the d3100, or who is using the d3s etc....and do they have the eye....is it a purely creative eye, or is it a technical, i read all the books and took all the classes eye. there are just too many variables. Honestly, i think the BIGGEST one, as stupid as it sounds is the visual. a pro looks better with big fancy gear and lots of do-dads. He MUST be good or he MUST know what hes doing...he wouldnt have that setup if he didnt! Or....is this guy serious? My 15yr old nephew just got that same camera for xmas! Maybe we willo get him to shoot our wedding! lol I personally have done quite a few weddings. do i NEED my pro gear, no...do i want it...of course. Can I work with lesser gear if need be...sure i can, but only if I HAD to. [/QUOTE]
