Agree.
Versatility is lacking in simpler cameras, and increases as one moves upscale. So does IQ. Lens matters as well. The best cameras and the appropriate lenses are able to produce great shots in situations that are unapproachable for simpler systems.
That said, the best cameras in untrained hands will produce junk, and a true artist will produce great shots in appropriate situations with a low end camera if the situation is within the range of the equipment.

Not really - unless you are an equipment snob (there appears to be a lot around).
A good photographer should be able to produce a good picture with any camera.
If you look on YouTube you will find many videos where a professional photographer is given a cheap camera of some sort and challenged to produce a good image - all the ones I have seen have succeeded. :thumbup:

Good reply Richard, I've noticed his satire a lot. :thumbup:

Obviously the best camera is the one you want that will solve all your problems (and take out the trash) rather than the one you have.
In the sixties the group I was with shot Pentaxes, Nikons and a few Canons, but obsessed over Leicas and Alpas which were out of our income range. Meanwhile the guys in Nam used what they could get--mostly Nikons, both rangefinder and F. And Henri Cartier-Bresson had a pre WWII Leica with a 50mm lens.

I agree with rook2c4. It is about limitations, and it goes both ways. Some scenes work great, and some can be done only with a little camera. For some scenes, it's the D4 or high end EOS that shows their limitations. But for most places where larger cameras are allowed, the tiny cameras have the sort of limitations many photographers are unwilling to accept given the specs and other options. Whether one is willing to work within them is a personal call. Not sure I would pay a few thousand for a wedding collection done on just an iPhone, but if some of them were captured only because it was done tastefully with no one noticing, for example, that validates it for me. I love mine when my other camera is away, especially since I still work in a place where I can't bring a larger camera. You wouldn't want to shoot a basketball game with one, but sending documents via e-mail on the fly with little notice, you can't beat them. They are real cameras with great capabilities, but not for all purposes. Don't mean to state the obvious, but to show the practical side.

Well said Richard, it's all you can expect from him.

Hi Geetime, no it doesn't, I use a smartphone, a point and shoot and a micro 4/3rds. They all produce excellent images, the main problem with the cameraphone and the P&S is using the screen in bright lighting.
Cheers,
John.

Which camera matters to the extent that you are comfortable using it and can get the shots you want from it. Other than that, they all can take great photos, including iPhones.

No, I haven't seen them, Yes, it makes quite a difference as to which camera I use.
