Sure some novices can get decent pictures with good cameras. But what is
their hit rate of decent pictures? And some total novices have an instinct
for
photography anyway. And some don't.
This goes way beyond novices. Some people have a good eye, and they take
good pictures, seemingly without effort.
A better quality camera (lens, really) will improve their work by improving
the technical quality of the image.
Some people (I am one), don't have such a good eye, and really have to work
at composition.
In my case, the better quality lens, or larger format film improves the work
by providing a level of technical quality that can at least turn a fuzzy
concept into a sharp picture.
Often, that is enough.
However you want to look at it though, a better piece of equipment (lens
anyway, camera bodies aren't so critical anymore) will produce a better
quality image than one of lesser quality in any given circumstance beyond
being put in the hands of a total fuck up.

It probably warms Kenny's heart to know that someone else is as wrong about
something as he is.
