Wedding Photographers Equipment Part II

    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.
