Igor, I am yet to hear someone tell me that my camera is nice. Which, I am telling you, will be met with a wide smile... However, more than once I was told that I must be professional photographer or that my pictures look professional. This is always met with a strong denial. However, I oftentimes use: "Oh no, it is my gear that is so good at making pictures" lame excuse that fascinatingly works more often than not. Modern age common culture is built upon progressive disregard of human factor and hence reliance of gear/automatics/you name it.
This goes hand in hand with my ongoing rant about the UI on cameras, particularly the K-1, being optimized for someone who wants an $1800 point and shoot. As more people transfer the technical skill set from the photographer to the camera the quality of the camera becomes more critical for more people to get decent photos.
I have noticed that it takes far less skill to get decent dance photos with the K-1 than it did with the K100. And it was darn near impossible with the K100 and the kit lens.
