It's true... Purely on a technical level I believe... I like to think that I get hired for the way I see rather than the way I manipulate a D LogE curve....
But it has always been true that someone who knows his subject well, will always get better images than someone who knows his camera well.

IMC etc.You often hear that "You must have a good camera your pictures are so good!" and "we" think to ourselves "wow, that cook has a great frying pan his food is so good" ... NOT! However .... I confess that regardless of composition and similar factors, the current cameras sure improve the technical quality of photographs made by the masses. I can't focus fast enough or reliably enough when subjects are moving (like in flying bird photography). Also my hands are not as steady as is sometimes required. In short Image Motion Compensation is a fantastic aid.I was making photographs from a rocking sailboat of other boats on the water. Some with AF but no IMC and others with AF but with IMC. The former were mostly unusable.Bird photography and photography from rocking sailboats or similar is sure a lot easier with IMC and probably a boon to birders and nature photographers all over. Just like there is today a proliferation of photographs (phone camera's impact) IMC and long fl zoom lenses have significantly multiplied the number of successful images made by relatively inexperienced photographers.Sorry for some of the disjointed thoughts in the post ... just thinking out loud.Andy
