How much effect does /p/ think the camera used has an affect on the pictures taken? I don't mean pro or con per se, but like how big of a role the camera plays in the interaction between photographer, tool, and scene. Of course it's the photographer shooting, but how much does /p/ think the camera affects the qualities of the image (not the image quality, I mean like the overall character).

Pic is just the first Altavista image search result for "camera", would post something but I'm away from my external hard drive.

Subtlety, durability, ease of use, technical superiority, greater control, lack of control, pocketability, unwieldly, inconspicuousness, suspiciousness, intimidation, imposition... just a few qualities and ways to tell apart one camera from another, and factors which will, in fact, affect your picture results, depending on the situation at hand.

It's all about taking the right tool for the right job.

our equipment DOES NOT affect the quality of your image. The less time and effort you spend worrying about your equipment the more time and effort you can spend creating great images. The right equipment just makes it easier, faster or more convenient for you to get the results you need.

It does affect the quality of the image because of what you just said. Not having an appropriate tool for the task at hand will probably get in the way of getting your pictures, stop you from getting such and such types of shots, etc. For an extreme example: candid street photography with a D3 vs candid street photography with a point and shoot. Shooting pictures at a funeral/wedding with a point and shoot as opposed to shooting such pictures with a more classic camera like, say, a TLR or something more formal like a film Hasselblad.

TLDR: If it affects your subject and your shooting style, it will affect your image's qualities (not talking noise and megapickles).
