Most times your accessories have more to do with getting a good picture than the camera does. Lighting, reflectors scrims and an understanding of depth of field and how to get what you want....The camera makes little difference.

a pro can take great pictures consistantly with a cheap camera...buying a Nikon D800 isnt going to make you a pro.
