The answer I always give is "gear can matter - what is your gear stopping you from doing"? Generally people don't have a very compelling answer. If you are limited by your gear, you're going to have lots of shots that fall a little short in ways that gear might address. Well framed shots and the edge of possible shutter speeds that just need one or two more stops of ISO, shots where the colors can't be fully captured by the chip you used, etc. Mostly though, if you are using any camera made since 2010, your gear is probably not getting in your way much.
- twic 3y agoMy concrete answer is "take pictures which are in focus". I used to have a compact digital camera, with autofocus, and no way to focus manually. Fine for typical snapshots. But show it a complex, interesting scene with some depth, and it would just focus on the wrong thing. It was frustrating to be able to see something, but not photograph it! Then i bought a fancier camera, which had optional manual focus, and now i could take a whole set of pictures i couldn't have taken before.
