it's not the tool that makes the picture, it's the photographer.

EXACTLY, "HAHA"
LEARN FIRST, BUY LATER.

would one learn proper exposure and metering (not to mention aperture) on a point and shoot?
- Sickman0
as long as you have manual control over aperture and shutter
and a built in meter
- Crouwel0
exactly.

Ok, but this thread started out buy dude asking how he can take pictures that resemble someone shooting on a 5D.
I would love to see an example of an image that was shot with a P&S that looks that tight.

so, if I buy an expensive camera, will I be a good photographer?

If you buy a good camera then your pictures have the potential to look far better than with a point and click. Also, doing so might kickstart you into being more serious about photography therefor becomming a better photographer.

i have not yet seen many people that have taken a point and shoot as far in terms of quality as i did.
lazy consumer whores y'all are.

"Also, doing so might kickstart you into being more serious about photography therefor becomming a better photographer."
proper bullshit. people tend to get lazier over time with heavier equipment.
try harder, get further.

point and shoots have shitty lenses, no?
- Sickman0
"point and shoots have shitty lenses, no? "
they also have shity senors - so it really makes no diff

maybe, just maybe it's a little bit of both... to make great pictures you need decent (decent that is, not expensive) equipment and craftsmanship/luck/talent......
you wanna take beautiful pictures? it's not about expensive digital cameras, you will have to learn photography, and that my friend, takes time....

i've seen ALOT of "modernist masters" work
Stieglitz, Strand, Weston, Adams,Eggleston,Steichen,ect,ect...
and by todays standards their works would all be considered either out of focus\blurry
very low res
but they still are the best history has
so it don't make a lick difference about what camera you use. the only thing that matters is can you get the job done.
