Just a rough guide.
The camera and lighting is nothing without the eye! I have seen photographers get amazing photos through 200 dollar cameras (yashica T4 super, old point & shoot 35mm) Don't rely on the newest & best to create a quality image (although it helps)

Its just a fact that the more you shoot the better you get. If ya dont do it very often (unless you Irving Penn) then its gonna be a long learning curve.
