Assume they meant 'nice cameraWORK' but left out a word
Assume they do know what they are talking about, understand the skill and know how carefully you calibrated things to make sure you had the right equipment for the job.
In this case, I think it was mostly a young-ism. The fellow making the comment in this particular case is 24. And a techno-geek, so the assumption that "anyone with a couple grand to throw at equipment will take pictures just like that" isn't completely off base - but is mostly due to youth and inexperience.
