Have you heard of a Seitz or a Hasselblad or a Mamiya or even a Fujifilm or Pentax? not the 35mm though.

Skill, yes. Lens? not really. Speed? Generally dSLRs have the capability to do BULB, or 30secs to 1/4000secs for a shutter. Please look at this forum or other popular forums, there are plenty of nice photos, supposedly taken from a pro with expensive gears. You will be surprised with the equipments they use and whom they are.

My advise to you, you are so badly needed to develop your skills first rather than to bang the wall with a teaspoon. Also, there is the need to check with the facts PROPERLY preferably with hands-on knowledge. It will not make you more compelling among other photographers over here, instead you will be a laughing stock for the wickeds and you will confuse even more the already confused newbies asking for advice.

Remember, a photo speaks a thousand words!
It will not only tell what's within the photo but also how far are you in taking photos.

You've totally missed the point. I'm generally telling g88 that gears does not matter and stop whining and get real. At the same time, don't confuse people with inaccurate information
