I have to disagree with the notion that expensive camera equipment automatically makes one a good photographer or guarantees great photos. Over the years I've seen many photographers with camera bags bursting with the latest and greatest equipment who couldn't take a decent photograph if their lives depended on it. An eye for composition, lighting, being there at the right time of day, etc. is ultimately more important then the camera you are using. When I give photography programs to various groups I sometimes hold up a small camera bag and tell the audience that my single most important piece of camera gear is inside. I tell them it is responsible for the majority of my best photographs and ask them to guess what it might be. You should see their faces when I pull out an alarm clock.
