Ok guys I have gotten some people expressing various opinions about a post a few weeks ago. My article on photography equipment has sparked some debate. The point a lot of people are saying is: "Its not the equipment, its the photographer"
My point is this. If you give a wedding photographer a $1000 consumer grade camera body and a entry level kit lens, and he goes and shoots a wedding. Then you take the same photographer and give him a $5000 body with all pro lenses, and shoots the same wedding taking the same identical photos, using the same exact settings. The photos shot with the professional grade equipment will yeild nicer looking photos, better color, sharper images, less noise, among other things.
At the same time I agree that a good photographer using consumer equipment will take better photos that a bad photographer using pro equipment.

It's a good point Ryan! I totally agree. Take yourself as an example. You have always been a really great and talented photographer, and the pictures you took for me in 2007 were spectacular (better than the average folk also taking pictures). When you updated your equipement, the 2008 photos (see Weddings) were on an even higher level of quality--- and your talent has had the chance to shine through upwards since then! Congrats!!! A. :)
