Devil's Advocate here...
LOTS of posts on here about needing a 'better' CP filter, or 'better' lens, or better ...?
so what we say to each other is 'gear does make a difference.' But we want non-photographers to congratulate US, with no regard to the gear.
Am I going to get the same shot from my Rebel than you are from your 50D? If you say yes, then why did you pay all that cash for the 50D? And while I'm happy with my Rebel, I WANT to upgrade. Why? I don't know, because I'LL GET BETTER PHOTOS?
Guess the manufacturers have brainwashed me too? no, I likely WILL get better focus, light, etc with a better camera.
And people that aren't into photography - say a golfer, knows that a better club head WILL make you a better golfer. A bowler who gets a perfect 300 may not have been able to do that with an alley ball, but his TALENT along WITH his custom ball gets him there.
I think just the fact that someone LIKES my shots is enough. They may not understand all the dynamics that go into it, but at least they don't say - YOUR CAMERA TAKES TERRIBLE PICTURES!
