hmm... while I was able to get some decent shots on my old Nikon D70, I seemed to get about 1 out of every 10 shots in focus when shooting birds on a high-zoom lens (Sigma 150-600mm),
upgraded to a Nikon D500 and almost every shot is in focus.
Sure, you can get great shots on any device - even pinholes, but when you're trying to capture images of subjects that are in motion and at a high zoom, you're going to see the value of faster shutter speed, better auto-focus, and higher pixel count.

I just recently took the plunge into digital. I was very concerned about resolution about image resolution compared to my Hasselblad XPan and did a side-by-side comparison of a Nikon D850 and D7500-same image, same magnification, same lens. With high magnification of the images I saw NO difference in resolution. Of course I bought the D7500 and so far am very happy with it.

When I taught a HS Photography class for one year, I had students collect oatmeal boxes and make pinhole cameras. They found it fun and interesting. I started with photo paper so they could see what a negative looked like.

This was taken with my Nikon D7000 and my original G1 version of the Tamron 150-600mm shot hand held. So many times I see people insisting on buying the latest and greatest camera equipment thinking their pictures will just jump in quality and detail. A lot of the time what would make a bigger improvement would be better technique and proper camera settings. Many times I see people that I know buy expensive new equipment and get the same results and they just can't figure out why. If the person using the equipment doesn't know what they are doing, spending a lot more money on new equipment really won't make much difference. I will take knowhow and ability over fancy cameras and lenses any day.

I have seen some pretty bad photos from very expensive equipment and some outstanding images from a cell phone, which pretty much makes my point.

I have to agree with you a 100% Grandpaw.
As a matter of fact I go just the opposite way and occasionally buy some older great cameras.
It's not about how many mega pixels the sensor is or how may frames a second can be shot.
It's about learning how to use what you have and make it work for you.
