With or without proof, people will keep buying the best and/or expensive gear.

no
it's more about people always saying "that must take great pictures" when they see someone with a DSLR, the comment come back so often

+1 I see that it make sense for a professional that make poster sized prints to use the high MP bodies but to just post on the forums. I believe almost any Digicam can do a good job.

I truly believe that if you give Jay Maisel a point and shoot camera you will get results that are stunning.

The point isn't the gear, I don't think, rather than the eye and the gut telling you what to shoot and how to shoot it.

The question or say the point is not to get a stunning result only, but the print will play a big rule in our decisions, and don't forget with point and shoot high ISO when needed you can't do more, in sports even the experts can use P&S but they know it is not practical at all, so it is not only to have stunning results by skilled talented photographer, i can get sports shots by my 350D, but comparing using it beside 1D MarkII/N or 1D MarkIII or D3 at ISO 1600 or even ISO 2000-6400, it is really not fair or logical comparison even we can get decent sports shots by 350D or D70.

I agree with this, to a point. My shot turned out OK from the P&S, but if I tried to print that at any decent size, it'd look like crap. If you're never going to have your photos leave your computer, then you're likely Ok with a P&S (well, no OK, but you'll still get good shots now and then).

While it often comes down to composition or having "an eye" for a shot, I'd kill for a 1D or 5D or what not, to be able to have the speed and large format to get that exact shot and print that I wanted. The response on that camera I was using was rediculously slow, it used two AA batteries, and would run out of juice after a full day of use.

But I suppose it's all relative.

and now to get back on track...

Hey Daniel, great shot. I love the bright greens and the the image just drags you right into it. Were abouts was this taken out of curiousity?

I have no ISO info from that one
taken almost 3 years ago, I was at my first camera (yes P&S, Casio QV-R62)
f/2.8
1/60"
landscape mode

and the crop is not looking that bad
