Steve, I agree with you 100%, that it's more the photographer than the equipment. Believe me, I wanted to add "that my photo composition, indoor white balance (no flash on new born's face), dark area clarity and overall rendition of the scene - baby, mother and father - was better than the Kid's with his Canon EOS T3i. Just that my humility prevented me to add these lines. But what I noticed was, the Kid was shooting in fully Auto mode - equivalent Green mode on Pentax - and still all his photos turned out crisp, clear, colorful, sharp and perfectly exposed - when I had to do some fine tuning from the initial shots. I shoot mostly in Av - 80% & M - 20%, Spot Metering. May be the Canons have a better hardware and software built into their cameras, because I noticed this also on a Canon 60D in our group tour of Europe last fall. I was shooting with my Pentax K20D and a Sigma 10-20 F4-5.6 + Tamron 28-75 f2.8. Regards. Bipin. camp: Thornhill, Ontario, Canada & not the far away enchanting land.
