Yeah, one would think that you were just asking for it... posting this topic in this forum. Not because you deserve the negative comments beause if you searched you would've seen the bunch of similar threads that sent newbies off running.... feelings hurt, etc... I can be sensitive too so I just learned what to post and what not to post.
My personal opinion about the topic is this. The quality of your photos is what your pricing should depend on... not the equipment. A 5d may be the nicer camera but give it to a person who has never used a digital camera in their life and they're probably not going to know what to do with it. For example, I shot a graduation for a family member for free and at one point the person was begging for me to get in a picture with me. Reluctantly I hand over my dslr to a family member wondered why the picture was being taken when she just quickly jammed the button in. i explained that she had to slowly squeeze and wait for the camera to focus..... I thought she got it until I got home and saw how blury they all were.... with a FAST lens! I did the same thing with my sister... asked her to take a couple of photos of me with my DSLR, she did but EVERY SINGLE ONE CAME OUT BLURRY! Just an example of the saying that it doesn't matter what camera you have, mostly who's behind the camera.
