Sorry, I don't buy all this 'the cameras are now so good that it is the photographer that is the limiting factor' stuff: for most of what most of us do, that might be true but at least sometimes the margins are where we can make a difference and distinguish ourselves from others. Every wedding and event photographer could do with more low-light performance. Many landscape photographers could do with more resolution. Nearly all of us could do with more and better colour and more DR and nearly all of us could do with faster, smaller, lighter, better lenses that are sharper into the corners. We want longer battery life, better IS, faster and more accurate AF, the list is long and the hope of its fulfilment, which is slowly being realised, is what keeps us buying gear. I also think that the average standard of enthusiast and prosumer photography has improved as the technical limitations and price points have made more possibilities open to more people.
To say that a talented photographer can make amazing images with a basic camera is true but it isn't the same thing as claiming that further advances in that photographer's technical reach won't allow him to make even more great images and possibly more often.
Vive la revolution!
