Kenny sez: "Your equipment DOES NOT affect the quality of your image" This is a direct quote from his website, and is bullshit. You can't make a generalized statement about quality without technical benchmarks being part of it. Good equipment will make technically better photographs compared to lesser quality equipment, plain and simple. Whether the photographer takes advantage of this or not is moot. Better equipment will give him/her an edge over what he/she could do with lesser quality gear, ergo, better equipment makes you a better photographer.
