High-end gear will not show you how to compose and this is where the line is.
It will allow you to do complicated things much faster, will produce better image quality, but will never tell you how to frame your subject. It will tell you gazillion kinds of information about the light coming in your viewfinder... but will never tell you where to place that little flower in your viewfinder...will never tell you that this picture would look better with a lower angle...
Some people would not expose properly without the gear they are using and that's why people are saying better equipment creates better photograph. Of course I cannot shoot everything a D3 can with my D90. I'm not a bad photograph for that... I'm a bad photograph thinking I can acheive what the D3 can using my D90.
