I was talking with the wife yesterday who knows next to nowt about photography and equipment, and claimed that, given the same operator, pictures are taken by lenses, not cameras. Sure, I was referring to film, where you can assume the same medium. Is the sensor so much more important than lenses in digital photography? And what kind of lens can you stick on a phone? Oh, and I conveniently forgot that comparing by the MP, is (almost) like comparing films by the ISO setting; there are so many other parameters, notably sensor surface and its effect to noise.
