Aside to Tanya, just because it sells for lots of money does not mean it is good.
Both confidence men, and cops depend on people being dumber than you or I would believe possible to do their job.
If you want to be a great artist you have to be at least borderline insane.
A digital SLR does not take any better pictures than a 1903 box Brownie, but it is a lot more impressive to show your friends.
Apparently, from comments on this list, when you buy a DSLR you lose whatever common sense you had.
Come on, dudes, give me some more straight lines for a pithy one liners.

Not only has it resulted in mediocre photos, it has helped people to learn to blame the equipment rather than themselves for the output. It carries over into the segment that actually can create great photos. The prevailing opinion is that they must have a GREAT camera, not that they are a GREAT photographer. I believe that this attitude and training (dumbing down) of the masses is eroding the pro photographer's ability to earn a decent living.
