After reading the article, i have to agree more with Ken Rockwell's view, that the camera really doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how much you spend, at the end of the day a camera is just a box to capture what you see...

OK, let's compare shots of birds in flight at 100ft.
I'll use a Canon 1DSMkIII and Canon's new 800mm F/5.6
You, get to use a 3x optical zoom P&S that doesn't have a "creative" zone.
Let's see which turns out better?
Simply put - BETTER photographers will make better pictures than worse photographers using the same gear. In SOME cases that DELTA is so great that BETTER photographers will actually make better pictures using worse gear than the worse photographers using better gear. (OK - not so SIMPLY put, but put nonetheless)

Ken Rockwell makes my toes curl.
His " ME ME ME ME !!! " approach irks me :P
And Dragonspeed is right on the money. The idea you can take a great photo of the moon without a 800 - 1200mm lense / telescope convertor is absurd.
And then there's the camera's ISO noise capabilities. There are SO many differences depending on your equipment, otherwise there would be 1 camera and 1 lense in the photographic world.

Interesting. Not having touched my Sony compact camera for over a year, I have been playing with it again, and am amazed about the shots that I get out of it, that I didn't get in the past. The benefit over an extra year of using my mirror reflex camera. I know better now how to avoid the weaknesses of the compact, and now rely on the compact in situations where I can't bring or use the reflex cam.

They mostly all do these days!
It's not all about the camera, it’s more about the ability of the person behind it.

Obviously an SLR with a good selection of lenses is going to give you more freedom than a point and shoot.
And at the same time, if you're just taking portraits you're not going to need a 600mm lense.
A higher end DSLR body will also give you non existant ISO noise at 800-1600, where as some compacts look like a snowstorm at ISO 400.
In it's simplest form : LIGHT !
The more light you have, the better your results are going to be.
