While I think in most cases if the pictures are good the camera used is expensive but I don't think I ever heard anyone said that.

What people say to me is, "You have an expensive camera, I would think your pictures would be better!".

I bought a Russian (Something) 166 TLR Olympic special, and I used it as the base of a lamp, along with two other old cameras.
You should post a picture of the lamp, Jerry.

I can just picture the hordes of camera collectors descending on the Catskills – pitchforks, torches, tar and feathers, and all – crying for Jerry's blood!

I seen this years ago. I say it when someone says my camera takes good photos.
I tell them I taught it everything it knows.

I have found that when I take a picture of a turd, it looks like a turd regardless of how expensive my camera is.

My current camera was $1500. USD less than my Canon 5Dmklll was and is a better camera. Remember, A less expensive camera today would be considered high end even 10 years ago.
When I had my business, I was complimented on my skills and never asked about my gear.

Expensive gear does make a huge different for certain kinds of photography. But for artistic photography of landscapes or architecture and the like, a cheap camera will do.
