>> Trying to evaluate the 'value' of something without internalizing the challenge of providing that something doesn't work.
Few people ask a web developer "what kind of computer did you use to make that site?" whereas many photographers get asked "what kind of camera did you use to get that shot?" Many people assume the camera does most of the work involved with a great shot.
This is a problem, and frankly, I think the camera makers are contributing to this big time. I get annoyed every time I see a camera commercial on TV where at the end of the commercial, they brag that it was shot with the camera being featured in the ad (I think I've seen Canon and Nikon ads that do this). What isn't visible is all the extra overhead related to the shoot: a director, a writer, one or more camerapeople, expensive lighting and sound gear, assistants, editors, etc.
