That's always going to be true with anything though. Equipment cannot replace talent and ability. I play guitar and sax. I am very good at guitar, but I suck at sax. I am the person who can pick up a cheap guitar and make it sing, but picking up a $10,000 sax isn't going to make me sound any better. It would probably make me sounds worse. It would certainly make me more self-conscious!My friend, who plays lead guitar, can pick up mine and I will hear sounds that I never thought were possible with my cheapo guitar. She knows how to bring out the best in it.
She owns several guitars herself because they have certain characteristics for different styles. She also has her favorite one, that she has had for years. It's her favorite because it just resonates with her artistically and inspires her to play her best with it.
Would she ever replace it? Yes, if it were improved upon in certain ways. It's not a perfect guitar, but she and it can make beautiful music together!
I just bought a new camera. I can guarantee (regardless of what we tell ourselves) that when viewed on-line, and especially on people's cellphones (which is how about 95% of people view images) the images I make with it will be indiscernible from those I make with other cameras. The difference will be the features that allow me to get the finished product.
