The guy said $1000, not $3500 without a lens.

Plus, it's not the camera, it's the photographer. Deeprig nailed it, just because you own a $10,000 Les Paul, doesn't make you a great guitar player.

That's like saying you shouldn't spend a lot of money on great golf clubs unless you're already a great golfer.

Puleeze! Stop with this elitist, "got to learn your craft on mediocre equipment first" BS. That just sounds like YOU couldn't afford it when YOU learned the craft, so to be fair, everyone should do like YOU.

If a modern, state-of-the-art camera creates a really incredible image because the "new" photographer purchased equipment that is great and helps make it easier, sounds like you guys just want to marginalize someone that does that instead of embracing it and understanding how that can lead to more excitement and people developing a yearning to learn the craft. Just my opinion, for what it's worth.
