I think talent is important but talent without putting in the work is wasted. I’d say it depends on the experience. He didn’t say give cameras to brand new photographers. If so I would say the one that practiced. If not then the one with more talent.

The OP talked about GAS which has nothing to do with talent or practice.

When you measure the ingredients of success, what is the ratio of talent to practice to equipment?

If we gave two people a brand new camera and lens, and after a week we learned only one had practiced, who do you think will be better?

A wise soul once proclaimed, " in order to be better, don't be the man with the mirror". (Or something similar to that)

Only vampires have a valid reason to be concerned about mirrors.

With some cameras you just get lucky, with a mirrorless camera you make your luck.

An alien comes to Earth and creates an uncontrollable GAS attack on every photographer on earth. You have to pick one photography tool. It can be a camera, lens, lighting equipment…whatever. You get one item. Affordability aside, what do you choose?

I already have my eyes, they are the best in the world.

I'd pay Elon Musk's labs to develop an automated 100% effective de-dusting apparatus for my camera sensor.

Could be based on electrostatic electricity, nuclear reactions, quantum entanglement, dark energy, whatever... I don't care.

I hate dust.
