I think it's more the photographer than the equipment. Maybe the
kid's just a better photographer than you!
I had a friend years ago who used a Practica. He took some pretty
good photos...better than me. He upgraded to a Contax RTS with Zeiss
lenses...but his photography did not improve. After a twenty year gap
we reestablished contact last summer. He's now using a Canon
60D...and his photos still seem much the same. From what I've seen of
his stuff I'm now the better photographer (which isn't necessarily
saying much)...and I use Pentax and Nikon.

Well said John. I too used to own the Japanese Asahi Pentax K1000 SE.
Loved its simplicity. Never let me down. On a 36 shot film cassette
got at least 33-34 keepers. Never had a low light shooting problem
ever, even on 100 ASA film.
And I stick to Pentax a) because I have all these old lenses, b)
nostalgia and c) I have few more years left to return to my Maker.
Always bought FF digital lenses hoping for that FF Pentax DSLR.
And last month a kid joined me with his Canon T3i & Kit Lens to
photograph a new born baby. All his shots turned out crisp, clear,
colorful and sharp w/o flash indoors, to my envy.
When I bought my first Pentax DSLR, both my son and son-in-law made a
joke out of me. Wish I had listened to them and opted for the
Canikons. Alas!!??
