I don’t believe anyone here thinks the gear makes the photographer. You said yourself you don’t see a difference in the quality from a 40D vs. a 5DMII at low ISO… exactly! The 5DII offers excellent sharpness and focusing at extremely high ISO, which is necessary in many situations. Try lugging a nice lighting setup around a church at a wedding (flash isn’t even allowed in many cases) or through the woods on a senior shoot. Using available light well is a talent, as is using lighting equipment.

If a photog showed up with an iPhone, sorry, but I’d fire them.
