But of course it is really the photographer who takes the picture, not
the camera. It's easy to get too obsessed with the "tech".

While I generally agree with that, and it's often quoted as if it was a
law or absolute, it also irks me somewhat with regard to what I actually
see:
What I see now is photos in magazines (not photographic magazines - I
don't read them much), some of which are marvelous not just in context
of composition etc, but they would not have been technically possible to
achieve until recently, low/natural light, high-speed etc.
