I don't think there is any debate here.

It's like saying that the pencil and napkin I have in front of me is inferior to a sketch book and graphite pencil I can get at an art store.

However, a lot of beautiful rendering has been done on a piece of napkin like this. Sometime I actually enjoy pushing the limit of what I can I do with a simpler tool. With the iPhone the limit is pretty high, so it doesn't feel as much a compromise as point and shoot camera used to be.

As a photographer I don't remember the last time I refer to a camera as "suck" as I would not refer to a pencil the same way. Objects don't suck, but operators may.

Lots of words for no debate. :eek:
 
Your response really summed it up. You expected a debate.

Sometime I express my opinion, and I don't see anything wrong with other people's opinions. When that happens, there is no debate.

Try it sometime. It's quite liberating. Instead of spending your energy trying to prove someone else is wrong at any cost, you try to understand what they say, and then you state your point of view.

Sorry but you said there was no debate here.
 
If you can shoot well, all you need is a disposable, toy camera or a camera phone to create great work. If you're not talented, it doesn't matter if you buy a Nikon D3X or Leica; your work will still be uninspired.
