Well, it does and it doesn't. If a great image is taken with an RX100 and a sub-mediocre with an A1, I'd go as far as to state there is fair chance the guy wielding the RX100 might be a bit more talented. Could also be chance, but what I just lined out is something I see happening even here, consistently. Not that better cameras make lesser pictures, but greater photographers produce higher and more consistent quality regardless of the gear.
