I think the judge was showing off his photography knowledge and not listening to the defendant. Not every photographer starts off with expensive body/lens. Her photos weren't great, but they weren't complete crap either. $1,200 for wedding photography is kinda cheap if you ask me.
My opinion.

well i agree to a certain extent. I think his point was that she was getting by with the LEAST and cheapest amount of equipment possible after saying she had done 100's of weddings. well 100 weddings at 1200 a wedding is $120,000... i know its probably spread out over a few years but his point was more like if she was a "pro" she would have probably invested in some better quality equipment to shoot with. I agree it can be argued that its the person not the equipment but I can also attest to better equipment making better photos, the difference between my 20d work and 40d work is pretty noticeable and the difference between my kit lens and L lens work is ASTOUNDING... so in that respect he was correct.
$1200 is cheap for a wedding for someone who can show you quality work... hers wasn't worth that much, even though her posing (from what I saw) wasn't horrible, the quality wasn't there and the fact she had printed it all off at walmart is just redic.
