I know there are many factors that are taken into consideration in producing a good quality photo. However I've been bothered by this notion that lens too plays an important role. But how far is this from truth? 
I'm a beginner who owns an entry level Sony A300 camera with 2 lenses (18-70mm F3.5-5.6 lens kit & 55-200mm Telephoto lens kit). I've been snapping photos but somehow I could not get the quality desired. (I even applied other techniques possible) Is it the camera? Will it make any difference if I change the lenses?
I got to the point where I almost gave up photography...until I found out about EOS 60D...
My friend thought I used a macro lens to take this: I'm a beginner who owns an entry level Sony A300 camera with 2 lenses (18-70mm F3.5-5.6 lens kit & 55-200mm Telephoto lens kit).

But in actual fact I just used the D90 18105 kitlens.
It's all about how you make use of your existing gear and understand its limitation, find another workaround on it.
You already got 2 good lens there to start with, the telezoom lens is already good enough to snap candids without letting someone know you are taking their pictures, perfect to capture natural emotions, and facial expressions.
In photography you cannot give up very easily. The only way to learn is to take, take and take. Don't feel afraid to experiment. Experimenting is the only way you can discover new horizons in your photos
and that is what makes your photo unique and distinguished. Don't worry about what other people takes. It's all about you, and how you feel about the pic. Most importantly, what makes your pic stands out. Tell a story
from your pic. Feel the light, study how certain lighting condition or composition can actually affects the mood of the person who sees your photo. Portray the mood that you actually feel at the time you snaps the pic.
