    Not in a technical field. You shoot with a Barbie camera and I’ll use a hasselblad. Which will be better? “The best camera is the one you have” is bullshit.

    Well, the expression does come from an age where it was more commonplace that the artisan, the workman, the technician, would be making their own tools. Takes on new poetic meaning, in this age and economy.

    No, but a good used lens and an older camera body is plenty sufficient for good photos especially if you can edit worth a shit. You don't need some new mirrorless body and some crazy lens that lets you take aperture down to f/2 that is brand new to, for example, .

    I'm confident that with my old canon EOS 5D Mark 2 I can outshoot any hobbymom who spent 5k on Amazon today for something new, and anything the camera can't do is accomplishable in Darktable.
