As the saying goes, gear does not matter in good photography. I would agree that any consumer grade DSLR of today pushed to its limits can produce stunning results. However, pro gear has some intangible benefits. They are a pleasure to use and can comfortably cover many corner cases. Besides, I have a lust for tools, and I like to use good equipment for photography as well.
I started photography with a Nikon FM10 film SLR in 2003. I went through several more Nikons before switching to Canon but for a short while. I am back to Nikon again. My equipment list shows both current and past gear.
