As an amateur, and speaking at the amateur level, I always find myself disagreeing that with that last statement whenever I see it. I've used a bunch of cameras ranging from smartphones to high end point-and-shoots all the way up to full frame "prosumer" mirrorless. While I have no doubt someone whose work gets featured in say, NatGeo, can take an iPhone4 and make wonderful shots, I can't help but feel the rest of us Average Joes and Janes get a tremendous boost from having better gear. And even that NatGeo featured pro would produce much better pictures with a FF DSLR than being limited to a iPhone 4, no?
