Thanks for the opinions everyone...


The gear will:
  • Make certain shots possible (macro, wide angle, etc.)
  • Improve technical quality of the image (contrast, colour, sharpness, etc.), but not composition, placement of subjects, etc.



The rest is me. And thanks for clarifying this idea to me. Of course, as someone mentioned, a 5 year old could get decent shots out of a 500, but I'm sure a good photographer could get a much better image that moves you.


Thanks for settling my mind. []
