I'll take your statement one step farther & state that what matters is the image 
produced with either film or pixels.

In the good old days of film, what eventually mattered was the lens and 
film quality. Except the case of some very particular applications, the 
camera body was just a box holding the lens in front of the film. Put a 
standard 50/1.7 lens on the simplest cheapest body, use a tripod, and 
you get the same image quality as the next "pro" guy using a $3000 
camera body. Yes he has a better viewfinder some extra gadgets and so on 
but the image quality is the same.

With the advent of digital, bodies and lens are of equal importance. The 
sensor type and MP, the image processing algorithms, everything is as 
important as the lens. If you want to be succesful in digital, making 
nice lenses ain't sufficient.

Seems that this is not very clear for P.
