before digital you had to chance to produce best photo…..but know if you want to produce the best you must have the best…..only if you have money…talent is in the second step……………..

Talent is the second step? I think most experienced, working photographers would disagree with that. You can’t buy your way into being a good photographer. Buying the best camera only means you have the best camera (or lens). No matter how good your equipment is, without proper technique and a good eye, you’ll still be taking bad pictures. They may have great image quality. But that won’t make them good.

I totally agree with John, It is not the camera that matter , but the person behind the camera.
Camera is just a tool, it is there to do the job , not there to show off how expensive the camera or lens is,
Yes, great tools makes the job a lot easier, but again, it is the eye and the person that counts.
I have seen people with 10k+ camera (Leica) and posting reviews about the camera when they don’t really even know what to shoot, it is like a guy driving Ferrari , and try to race… without knowledge , anybody can drive, anybody can take a photo with expensive gears, but are you going to benefit as much as a person who knows how to use it ?
Go to flickr.com search LOMO,, those are $40~80 dollar camera we are talking about here, but they produce amazing photos,,,, again. CAMERA , LENS, It is a tool, its the person behind the camera that matter.
