Is it really that much of a difference?

I found this at fstoppers.com and found the subject interesting. Maybe someone else might too...?

I read a short story somewhere about a photographer who came to a friends house for a dinner. The host greeted him by saying that he had seen some of the photographer's amazing pictures. "You must have a really good camera." the host said. The photographer didn't give much of a response.
When the dinner was over and it was time to leave the photographer thanked his host properly for a very good meal and said "You must have a really good stove." 😂
I've made myself the promise to use the same tactics next time I am in a similar situation.

I took this shot that gave me first place in a DPreview photo challenge. I used no PP on it as well. The camera was a point and shoot Canon S90.

Nice capture. That's when we had wooden ships and iron men. I served on a tin can, (Destroyer) Iron ships and wooden men. I guess that's means if we fell in the water we would float.

The article was interesting but the responses were even more so. The only thing for sure is that everyone has their own opinion!

Well suntouched.... you have given an opinion on opinions but not your opinion ???
I have taken great photos with my 20mpix Sony HX50 super zoom... in my pocket 24/7 [lumpy at night sleeping]. Fantastic photos planned event like shooting cars once a month outside with the Canon SX50 .. better than they should be!!! Small sensor. If I must sure my Sony A65 with a bag of excellent ol' Minolta lenses.
My summary statement: Low cost equipment side by side are fine, competitive, if conditions are right... the more difficult the shooting conditions the better large sensor, raw are more important. BUT the small camera is there when the event happens and that is the clincher in favor of small cameras.

I've tried several lenses on my Nikon, but I always go back to my good ole trusty 18-200 lens. Who in the heck wants to pay a 1,000 dollars more for a lens with only a 1/2 stop difference?
