All one needs are tools suited for the job. I'd say that "sufficient tools" will produce results (in the hands of a good photographer) that are every bit as good as "the best tools". Marnie, I suspect you're buying into what marketers and advertising agencies would want you to. cheers, frank ========== Best doesn't necessary mean the most expensive. I believe I said the best tools one can afford. Although best sometimes means the most expensive, it doesn't always. Best tools means not compromising. At least, to me. And compromising can mean different things to different people. And what they are willing to compromise on, and what not. Two instances: a good built-in light meter with a film camera, or mp with digital. I meant that cost is also a factor when it comes to tools. Sometimes there is a tool we want, but cannot afford. Ergo, we compromise. Its nice when we don't have to compromise on some area that is important to us. The best tool is something we will actually use that we don't have to compromise on. Compromising on things we do not use, it doesn't matter. Like I don't need myriad fancy program modes. ;-) That is an area I am perfectly willing to compromise on. OTOH, I'd like a faster write speed and a bigger buffer. That is an area I am unhappy compromising on. A camera that does not meet my expectations in those areas is not actually my "best tool." Marnie aka Doe Sorry, I often don't express myself concisely or succinctly.
