And a musician can't make music without an instrument, yada yada yada. But the # of weekend photogs who believe buying a Leica can make them shoot like Cartier-Bresson is far more than weekend guitar pickers who believe buying a Gibson can make them sound like Les Paul. Maybe it's easier to look at your own crappy photographs and think they're art, than to listen to yourself hitting wrong notes and buzzing strings and think you sound good. Or maybe it's because your friends and/or spouse can humor you about your photography but can't help holding there ears when you try to play the guitar. The point is, yeah the camera can make a difference, but not nearly as much as the marketing guys would like you to believe.
