LOL.

With a Rolex, I understand where you are coming from, absolutely. Of
course, a cheap digital watch will still accurately tell the time. P&S 'v'
DSLR is not the same.

It actually is the same.
Pretty much any decent camera is capable of taking great pictures.
What really matters is the photographer, not the camera.
Bragging about a tool is a sure mark of a not so great photographer.

Ever see a truly talented craftsman, regardless of the
craft, who *did* *not* have a set of the best tools he
could afford?

You bet.

Not that there may not be several sets of El Cheapo
screwdrivers, or whatever, but when it gets down to
craftsmanship to make art, the really good tools come
out.

I didn't say that. What I wrote was "decent".

Apparently you don't know that some of the most famous photographers
have worked with quite modest equipment. Do some checking.
