I've been playing with a K7 again in the last couple of days and had real fun. It's not about the gear no matter what is advertised. It's nice I grant you but not essential. > > 2.

You can upload an image from anywhere and Photoshop the life out of it, bypassing the need for a camera at all. > > 3.

The majority of iphone photos are great and if you're uploading to social media something that happened that moment, it only has to convey what is happening, not be a gallery print. If you sell your photographic services and/or images people will care. I don't agree with any of the other views. > > 4. Photography is easier than we'd like to admit. Nearly always said by owners of DSLRs who have never had the kit lens off the body and never used it out of auto mode. There is a world of difference to owning a camera and taking photos with it, to dedicated photographers who have an idea of the image they want to take and possess the skills required to make that happen.
