The equipment for baking doesn't make nearly as much of a difference in the final product as a good camera does. I can make a cake mixing only by hand, with a cheap hand mixer, or an expensive KitchenAid (ooooh, pretty mixer, if only you took up less space on the counter), and the only difference is the speed and the size of the mess, the cake tastes the same in the end. However, plenty of talented people are limited by the equipment they can afford. I can compose great shots all day long, but if I'm limited to my P&S, I'm going to end up with a shot so noisy that all I can make out of it is an art photo. It's just a limited piece of equipment (thanks, Fuji!) and except in limited circumstances (read: sunlight required), my photo just isn't going to be that great. I think a better comparison would be camera:baking ingredients. Better camera/ingredients, better final product (though cheap baking ingredients can still make a darn fine cake). Take it as a compliment on your taste in equipment instead of getting your feathers ruffled. I find the camera:baking equipment to be a rather erroneous comparison.
