....or maybe shelmec is doing their research by asking questions on forums where they might reasonably expect to encounter people who have answers to their questions.
I worked for years in a camera shop, and plenty of the professional photographers who came in knew less about hardware than I did- could I shoot like them though? No. Ultimately a camera is just a tool you use to realise your artistic vision, it's not an object to fetishise and worship. Getting snotty about people who buy expensive cameras is like getting snotty about people who buy Vapochills without serving their time on Deltas and watercooling first
. If you have a great eye for a picture, why not come and ask how you can best capture it?
