Exactly, some people have the best of the best but no skills at all and it doesn't look much better then your better then average user using a P&S camera.You and a few others seem to have a natural inclination when it comes to viewing the best shot. I realised now that no matter how good the camera is, if it's in the wrong hands then the photo will never be better than "average".
Me, I think I'm a "holiday snapper" at best, but I enjoy it.
