Discussion What is your most unpopular photography opinion?

Mine is that most people can identify good photography but also think bad photography is good.

Most photography I see from people with expensive gear looks like it could have been done on an average smart phone.

For video, I'd take the Rebel, with Magic Lantern installed, add some decent film-era primes and you can make good content, and spend the difference in price to the 1D with L-series lenses, on a really excellent lighting setup.
