Its not the camera, its the person taking the picture. I have seen amazing photos on cheap point and shoot cameras. Its all in the eye.
It also helps to have a nice lens, but the camera, only holds the film or CMOS/CCD. It doesn't take good pictures, you do.
Cheers,
I totally agree that the biggest factor in the quality of a picture is the person behind the viewfinder. However, the equipment does make a difference. I said I want that camera because right now I have a Canon Powershot A10 which, for its time, was a decent camera, but now it is showing its age. I just went and took some pictures of the sunset today and the images have a lot of noise in them. It would also be nice to have a bigger zoom. With most pictures, I can get a good composition, but the image quality isn't up to par with some of the newer cameras out there.
its not the person behind the camera that is the difference in the pictures. its three things.
the setting, the camera and the person.
people crap at photography can strike good luck and take awesome photos, and people whom are good at photography can strike out and take shit photos. good photos cannot be taken with a shitty cam.
nice photos by the way!

Agreed. A good cam only compliments the user. Rockford obviously has a great eye. I shot a friend's wedding in the Bahamas on 5 min. notice with her 3.2MP Cybershot (point- not a high-end camera). She just wanted some candid shots of the ceremony and she ended up liking my pics better than the wedding photographers

Iconz1: no kidding, I started photography at my brothers wedding. I ran around following the pro photographer with my little point-n-shoot, watching what he did. In the end, the film was destroyed, and my shots were the only ones of the ceremony. Go fig.

OMG that is how i stated, exemp my uncle let me use his G3 at his brothers wedding, my other uncle. i got some nice shots, the photographer at his wedding like me a lot, i took a lot of good pix, i even got one better than him, just as my newly wed aunt and uncle were about to get into the limo the flower girls threw rose pedals int he air, and i caught the shot perfect, (it was pitch dark out practically so i had to flash of course so it made the shot hard) and the photographer missed it. lol i showed him and he was like, damn that is the $ shot! : D then my other uncle whos cam i borrowed accidentaly deleted the shots i took wich really sux :/Originally posted by JohnnyNuke

Sorry man I can't agree with you. It should read;
The person, the Setting, The lens, the Camera.
A tool is a tool. A better tool only makes it simpler for an artist, or amature photographer to take the picture. I can visualize the way I want the photo to look. I can use a 30 year old view camera, and take the same picture when using my Elan 7E. The only reason I choose to use the Elan is because I can carry it with me, and it makes my shooting easier for me.
You must have a knack for seeing the scene. I am good at seeing a scene because I have a really vivid imagination. Again I can only comment on my experience, as I am no expert. The camera is just my tool, I am the one who frames the picture, I am the one who knows when to release the shutter.
This is one of the reason that I won't go digital until I need it. Its just a tool, and I don't need it right now. As soon as I get involved in photojournalism, I will get one. Until then I am quite satisified with using my film based camera's. Its just a tool. (NOTE: this isn't a digital vs. film comment, its an example on why I think a camera is a tool).
Cheers,
