No human can exceed the capabilities of any modern camera. You pays your money and buys what you like , I’m a Leica fan because it just feels right and I can forget about the camera and think about the image

Eh, very much not true. Buying a better camera won't automatically make you take better photos, but it can give you more flexibility with less work in post. I tend to bracket ~every photo while traveling because i *had* to way back when due to sensor dr limitations. On a (nearly) current FF, I don't need to reach for that crutch to get a photo i like nearly as much.

w00mdefine better !....I don't mean technically or post-altered......better is learning composition, light and having an 'eye' for it....I meant most modern cameras will serve you well once you get the other stuff right.

PrivatedocThe two most blatant modern examples that affect me personally are DR and ISO performance. When i was shooting crop, if i had to jump past ~ISO 800 the lost details would be... dramatic. I'd jump through composition/subject hoops to avoid.
Same w/ shadow details, Yes you could wait till *just* the right overcast sky to get the details in the nooks and crannies of the turrets or a castle w/ out bracketing, but then I feel you lose some of starkness of the sharp-shadow lines. On my newer camera, I still bracket, but I feel like I have crazily more creative control than I used to.
I also went from f/1.8 && iso 800 usable to f/1.2 && iso3200 with equivalent noise in the same upgrade, felt like night vision.. :)

PrivatedocAnd to be clear, i'm not saying a better camera will make you a better photographer or make you take better photos. Crap composition is crap composition. Better gear simply gives you more/better tools to capture your vision, very much removing significant limitations.
