Oooohhh, I thought this issue have been debated before.

Well just for the fun of it and also the re-cap.

Obviously is a no to me. Its not correct certificate for a better photograper. Its a back door certificate. As mentioned before, a better photograper, he understand the DOF, lighting exposure and also composition. All these things are actually a basic fundamental which a photographer need to know more or less. So like it or not to be a better photographer you need to master the 3 basics thing.
Agree with you totally. :cheer:

i'll throw myself in the fray for this but i find that more importantly, it's the man behind the camera (whether it's PNS or DSLR or even MF/LF). Mdmzr mentioned about mastering DOF, lighting & composition. I assume he meant it thereotically and technically. My opinion is that it takes more than sound technical knowledge to be a good photographer - personal skillsets such as communication skills, assertiveness, decisiveness, patience, resourceful, dedication etc also contribution largely to the making of a good photographer. If a photographer posseses such traits & technical knowledge, then it doesnt matter if its a PNS or DSLR.

Riding on ChaoxAngel's comment about:

Does a DSLR make a "better photographer"
is technically different from:
Does a DSLR make "better photography"


you will noticed that the element that is consistent in the 2 statements is the DSLR and the difference is in the person. A good photographer would be able to master his DSLR to take command of the environment to produce better photography.

Joho wrote this article - From A Photographer's Heart - where he spoke about being human first, then a photographer. Perhaps it would go some way in contributing to this overflogged horse of a discussion topic. :P

DSLR, SLR, LR, R, watever it is, these are all just tools. Man makes the tool work for him and not the other way around.
