I've taken plenty of good photos with an *ist DS. Sure, there's a difference between the *ist DS & the top-of-the-line models... That doesn't mean the *ist DS isn't still a very capable camera. As far as IQ, the main areas I notice a big difference is in high ISO performance and 6 vs. 12 or 14 MP. Otherwise, meh...

As a guy who has played guitar for the last 35 years or so, I can tell you it's mostly about the setup. I've played Gibsons & Martins that played like crap & $150 guitars that play like a dream.
