Mat, I have been thinking about these statements. Naturally, as photographers, there is a great sensitivity to image quality: an intuitive response to the richness of the photographic process for its own sake. And with the photographic process, and cameras in particular, the truism still remains: the bigger the better. But big cameras have their down sides, weight and cost.I agree with you Peter on good images, it's irrelevant what it is shot on. It's possible to see really beautiful work on every section of this forum, a lot that really doesn't appeal to me at all but will others of course. This is definitely a gear focussed forum though which is absolutely fine, I tend to prefer shots from specific people regardless of what they shoot with and will search them out on Instagram or websites if I can, the eye, vision and opportunities they create is far far more interesting to me than streams of images that just happen to be taken with a camera I own or am interested in. But there is a lot of great stuff to be found here and some of it inspirational.
The Leica forum is interesting because it sort of documents the shift in technology, the M specifically is so far away from what is current and yet, in the right circumstances it produces absolutely wonderful images. Anyway, none of it matters, it's not life and death it's just a beautiful way of seeing and documenting the world around you, people can and should shoot with whatever the hell they want, I appreciate the opportunity here to learn and see cool stuff now and again.

Will, an interesting question and after some thinking my position on this is also a bit similar to what Mat wrote.I guess where this is leading is to a simple question that has been on my mind: will people enjoy my photography any less because of the camera I use?
My conclusion is the camera is rather secondary. There is so much photography I enjoy from such a great range of cameras, processes, and technical attributes (grain/noise and narrow DR never really bothered me). What defines it is the photographer and their skills. Now, there is a correlation between the camera and the quality of the photographs, but it is also true that more skilled photographers use higher-end gear, which kind of gets back to the person behind the camera again.What conclusions have you come to?
