Someone famous once said. Owning a Nikon doesn't make you a great photographer, it makes you a Nikon owner. (for those who always attribute a great picture to your camera)

Many people assume that buying a good camera will automatically yield excellent pictures. One friend after buying one
said, you know I get better pictures with my cell phone. Without reading the manual or learning anything at all about photography no wonder.

I do think that most people who make some variation of this remark intend it as a sincere compliment. If I detected any snark, I might be tempted to use one of the many snappy, smartass responses in this thread. So far, I haven’t felt the need, but I’ll be ready for that occasion if it comes.

Why would someone do that, offer a compliment that's really meant as a snarky insult? The odds are they mean well and are not trying to insult anyone. I've read this entire thread and some of the responders apparently harbor deep seeded feelings of exasperation. As I previously responded, the person making the statement more than likely means well so be the bigger person and just say thank you. No need to go explaining the same old rhetoric about taking and making and all that gibberish that people who aren't camera savvy don't understand.

In order for that miracle of technology to happen, one must own a Canon.

Why I don’t know, I can’t even imagine. Bless your heart.
Sersly, I agree. As I said, I’ve never really felt the temptation to respond as if it weren’t sincerely meant. But now, I’m at least prepared.

I like: "Thank you". "It has always done a good job but it does better now that I've trained it and told it what to do."
Or just a simple "Thank you", works well too.

Owning a good camera doesn't mean that you can take good pictures but if your pictures are good then the likelihood that your camera is a good one is great.

I proceed to say thank you!
And then I turn to my camera, give a big hug and say “See I told you that you can do it!!!”

In one photo group I belong to we often say that when a member shows a great picture, it's not a putdown at all, it's a joke based on the first comment on this thread, sort of left handed complement!
