My friend just published some photos of his on a fashion website. His photos are amazing, and I want to be able to produce photography that’s at the same quality level as his.

He used a Canon 5d for these photos. I don’t have enough money for a 5d+ a lens, but I think I could afford a 7d with the same zoom lens (24–105).

Would my photos be noticeably different? Should I hold out and save my money for the best of the best?
