I subscribe to the magazine "Arizona Highways" and the yearly photo contest winners have been published. This is open to both amateurs and professionals. This years grand prize winner shot was taken with a Fugifilm X-T2. This is to show that the most expensive DSLR's no longer rule the domain.

I have read where some grand prize winners of photo contests have been taken by a smartphone. And some winners have been women who aren't even professional photographers. You could say being at the right place at the right time is beneficial. Nothing wrong with that either.

Thank you. Probably next year's winning image will be shot with an iPhone.

I was referring to the ones that think they are holier than the rest of us because they have the most expensive gear. They know who they are and the rest of you are great photographers and human beings. I knew this post would step on some toes and I apologize to the rest of you that it doesn't apply to.

You said it's mirrorless and not DSLR or mirrorless.

Although the X-T2 is a really great tool, it is just that - a tool! I am in the camp that it is the photographer wheeling that great tool that won.

Camera/lens is only a tool! It’s what you do with it that counts!
