My friend, if you think that a perfectly exposed photo is what makes a great picture, then you are correct. However, in my book, “subject matter, light and composition” are the key. Which means that ANY camera can capture a winning photo. You don’t need a Sony sensor for that. How come we have all those amazing shots from the past where truly inferior gear was used?
Hear..hear..!!
It amazes me how some " look down " on yester years equipment , yet as you rightly say , many Great photo s were taken in the past...on said inferior equipment.

Is the goal to have the best toysimeantools, or to make stunning images?

I have not seen any camera able to crack a joke so they are all serious.
Not even a deadpan joke with those things!!!

Romano, I don't usually agree with what you post but that was funny to me. Cheers.

I think the answer to the question is that as long as whatever camera one has works and satisfies the need, then that is a serious camera, and it is up to the photographer to make the very best images he/she can with that camera. So no one needs to feel inadaquate because they don't have the biggest and best gear, and it doesn't mean that a point and shoot or bridge camera is inferior to anything else. Keep in mind, I'm generalizing here, and not targeting any niche style, group, type of phtographer or level of expertise. In my opinion, the whole reason for getting into photography is to have fun with it, maybe even get real good with it, but just enjoy it.

Get the camera to do the job you need done..
The facts.. DSLR sales are growing slightly, Point and Shoot are in freefall, mainly due to erosion by cell phone cameras.
I use all three and select based on the needed outcome.. All three will make 13x19 prints. Steve411

I agree with you. I use my Canon 5d II when I need a different lense or for some other issue. Otherwise it is my iPhone 8plus.

I have never seen a camera with a frown on its face or, for that matter a smile. Therefore, it stands to reason that a person can be a serious photographer, but a camera or cell phone cannot.

Exactly, a serious camera is any camera a serious photographer decides to use.

My wife took this photo with her phone when I didn't have my DSLR. I think it's a legitimate photo, don't you?
