I DO believe that the EYE behind the camera IS what makes the camera GREAT.


I agree, a really good camera makes it easier to get the technical part right. Focus, exposure, etc. I think a great lens makes more difference in the technical aspects than the camera though.

But having the picture in your head before you take the shot is what makes a great photo regardless of the equipment. I'm decent at getting the technical part down but I sure wish I was better at imagining what the shot should be before looking through the veiwfinder. I have little skill there.
