It's not the camera, it's the man behind the camera?

I read article on a camera should do this? or that won't do? or, it's no use if it won't do the other?

 

I find it all a bit tedious? Somehow they managed to photograph sporting action?

I want to see the camera that took THIS picture.

OP..,it is true and false.

 

If the camera can do it, but you can't, it is your fault. If the camera can't do it, then you have an excuse.

The man behind that camera looks like he is having a hard time holding it up. Probably be lucky to get a couple of shots. Apart from that he looks like a clown and the guy in the background thinks it’s funny too. We can’t see exactly what he is taking a photo of. In answer to your question a good camera certainly helps. But it also helps to have some vision and technique. I think it’s a combination of all three. Certainly different cameras will perform better, for different situations.

I agree with this topic heading.  However, an excellent photographer using excellent equipment will be far ahead of another equally excellent photographer using less than optimum gear...

In my career I have used 4x5" Toyo Graphic with roll film back to shoot aerials out of a helicopter............a bit of a challenge but stunning results!

The man behind the camera looks like a baseball player of that time, possibly a member of the old Washington Senators. I'll bet the man smiling is the photographer.

Camera or photographer?: I remember Ansel Adams quote: The most important part of the camera is the twelve inches behind the viewfinder.
