Meh, better equipment can lead to better shots. That's not always the case. Bad composition (or perhaps I should say, ill-though composition) won't improve only because of a better lens. But let's say for example you're already skilled at nature photography. You've got great composition and good lens technique. Then upgrading your lens to something sharper or a camera body that does better in lower light will actually make a difference in the technical quality of your shots, and that in my opinion is a better photograph.
Honestly, it's a little tiresome hearing "it's the photographer, not the gear" because we all know that phrase applies to some people, but it's kind of irrelevant. Interesting shots can be taken with pretty much any kind of camera, but more advanced gear enables certain kinds of shots otherwise not possible without it. For people with a desire and ability to learn, gear actually can improve one's shots. Moreover, without that gear you can't very well improve taking the kind of shots that require it.
