When someone say's to me "I bet that camera takes good pictures" I say Na! I take good pictures the camera records them.

From someone that does not know I say thank you I do and smile.
I agree. There is no point trying to explain the art of photography to someone who clearly doesn't understand. I'd probably have an equally idiotic response to a field I don't understand.

Thank you I will definitely keep this in mind next time this type of comment come up. Another question just occurred to me; what if they can't cook? Its still an expensive stove! :)

Owning an expensive camera does not guarantee good photos, just like owning an expensive stove does not guarantee good meals.

"you must have an excellent camera"
My response is yes, I do, but it is the laziest darned thing I've ever seen, cos unless I pull it out of the bag and point it at something I can't get a single picture out of it!

Tell her you'll answer her question over a home-cooked meal, but only if she promises to use her very best pots and pans. If she asks about framing, make sure she knows to use her best china and silverware. If the meal is no good, tell her she needs to upgrade her cook ware!

I would have told her that my camera composes pictures just like anybody could use an MRI to see what is wrong with somebody!!! But I was never one to step a way from a fight - don't start them but don't suffer fools..

Laypeople don't seem to know what is involved in specialized fields to create a product or use certain tools and creatively produce something beautiful. What's worse is the unthinking comments some can make and not understand how hurtful they can be.
I just happened to think of a comeback: "Did Leonardo use a special paint brush? Did Robert Frost or Hemingway use a special pen?"

No, I had a bionic EYE installed.
A man did that, and he can take video with his camera eye.
