I hear it all too much. All over forums and even said to me personally. "That photo is awesome you must have an expensive camera" that is like a guitarist shredding out an insane solo and someone saying "That solo was amazing, you must have an expensive guitar" I know people probably don't mean it to be for the most part, but it is offensive. In a way it is implying that the photographer did nothing but own an expensive piece of equipment an press a button without realizing there is much more to it than that.
