I beg to differ. Poor ergonomic design prevents me from making some photos, flare, fugly bokeh or poor color quality will make the difference between a photo I\'ll keep and one I delete.
The best camera doesn\'t save a poor photographer, but a good photographer will soon find his limits with poor gear. It takes skill and good equipment to achieve optimum results.
Discovering limits whether they are equipment or skill/creativity based, and working within those limitations to produce quality images is, to my mind, what the journey of photography is all about. Optimum results, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder or, on a professional level, the eye of the client. I read recently about a marketing campaign that is being shot entirely with an iPhone.
