Yes, so was my post. Maybe I shoulda included a monkey gittin jiggy? :shakin:
I started a rather long, almost rant~ish post responding to several statements Ken Rockwell made, but thought better of it. I'll give you the short version:
I do not entirely agree with him. Sure, the mind behind the camera is the absolute, most important piece of gear when it comes to good quality photographs. But to say that the gear has no impact on quality is just foolish.

If this were true, we would all be running around with oatmeal containers turned into pin-hole cameras.
There is no substitute for "the eye", but having the "right" gear is vital. For 99% of consumers, a low end point and shoot is satisfactory. But to say you can capture the same image quality with that as you can a 5d, is crazy.
