I have heard comments when people look at my snaps about what camera am i using. Snaps are judged more technically then human aspects. I am not looking for kudos but doesnt human eye matter much much more than the 'dummy' camera?
my vote is 70/20 with eye in favor.

To make an analogy if you were to take an Andy Warhol print to a lithographer or silk screen printer he or she would probably make comments regarding the technical/quantitaive qualities of the print in terms of the line screen which was used etc. However if you were to take the same print to a gallery director and ask them to comment they would make a much different comment. They would probably make inferences about the artists intentions, which movement it belongs to, its political ramifications, the emotions which the print evokes etc... In the world of fine art photography the type of camera you use is almost a null point of focus. Example, Sally Mann uses the glass collodion process using an old 8x10 camera which is probably older than herself. The glass collodion process is a far from perfect process, often the image is flawed in some way, yet the artists vision prevails and this technique works well for her and she is one of the most important photographer in art history.
Another case in point is Diane Arbus, the camera she used at the time wasn't exactly top quality and the quality of her prints are questionable due to the amount of flaws in the print. Yet art historians, critics, etc rarely focus on what kind of camera she used. They focus more on her intentions, and her as the artist. So needless to say you should not focus on what camera you are using, but spend your time developing artistic persona and subject of interest. The only time you should worry about what kind of camera to use is whether or not that camera fits with your vision. And if someone is judging your photography souly on its technical merits and not on your vision stop having the plumber judge your images.

Agreed!
With my expensive dSLR, I get more keepers than I do with my point & shoot. I love the spot meter, the insanely high ISO, the lucky grabs with 'spray & pray' continuous shooting, etc. It's great fun and it does help... up to a point.
The thing is, I'm not so sure that I take more 'great' shots with the dSLR.
And I know for a fact, that plenty of photographers can put me and my whole outfit to shame with nothing more than an $8 disposable camera. Yeah, it hurts :-)
A $3.000 camera won't magically make you the next Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Gary Winogrand, Helmut Newton, or whoever... any more than a $700 pen will win you the Pulitzer Prize. It takes skill.

ok i think of i replied your previous question and informed you it exchange right into a shadow individual, yet now im exceedingly particular this is an incubus, a shadow demon that rapes you, it form of feels to be quite attracted to you whilst your in mattress so be careful, i think of you need to get help, call a clergyman. if it ever seems lower back and starts hurting you tell it to f*ck off, in basic terms yell that, demons do no longer like it whilst your no longer afraid of them, and if it ever bodily assaults you (incubi drag you down stairs oftentimes) in basic terms stay calm, i be responsive to its stressful yet negativity makes them extra suitable
