Of course - there are plenty of examples out there. The field of sports and wildlife should provide a rich ground for finding such examples. I'm thinking there would be many examples in that field that could not have been captured with, say, a small compact or an iFad device as successfully.

Yeah - not the same thing though.

I don't think ultimate IQ is all that important with regard to whether an image is saleable or not. Many street shots from the masters spring to mind. Composition and subject trump IQ on almost all occasions.

But 'better' IQ is, of course, only one aspect of what you get from 'more capable' equipment ('more capable' equipment being the opposite of your term 'lesser' equipment)
