I agree with the OP. On the other hand, if you're shooting digital and only taking 1 or 2 shots of any given subject, I think you may be wasting opportunities. There's probably a happy medium in there somewhere, but it will vary according to the photographer and subject... That said, I've never taken 1000 shots of any single subject.

I've heard the "You have a nice camera" remark, too. I had to respond truthfully: "Well, actually, these shots were taken with a 4mp point and shoot." Some of my best photos were taken with a Canon Powershot.

I've also seen some remarkable things done with an iPhone. The eye is what really matters. But... a decent camera plus photoshop will certainly help to correct a lot of errors. The thing is, you have to know you made those errors before you can fix them. Most people who take only snapshots just don't see these things.
