ISO 6400 for 3M or less, LOL.

Can you even begin to imagine the noise in such an image?

Doesn't matter. There's clearly a market for people who don't care at
all about the quality of the image and are more concerned with having
the most megapixels, the widest range zoom, and the biggest LCD.

There isn't a person posting here who isn't willing to accept
compromises in image quality in order to get a camera that they
can use for an acceptable price. Some of them are arrogant snobs
who think that only their compromises are acceptable.

True. It's all a question of which compromises you're willing to make.

Still, advising people to avoid a camera with very high noise and a
crappy lens (ignoring for a while all the other issues) doesn't
necessarily make someone arrogant, nor a snob.

If your judgment of a camera is solely based on the above, which
you have chosen as the only important features, then yes, you
could be termed a snob. Other features ( video, cost, ease of use,
ect.ect.) are all valid features. That is unless you are a snob and
believe that your criteria is all that should be considered.
