A camera will make life easier to shoot pictures. But it doesn't make someone a better photographer.
Note the number of contests for people who are using iPhones to shoot photos.

I also would like to shoot with my camera but I also shoot from my iPod touch just because it's more convenient. I'll also use it to shoot when I want to send it to Facebook (which doesn't require 10 megapixels).
A good photographer will take whatever camera is at hand and work within the limits of the camera. More megapixels and more features doesn't necessarily make better photos. It just makes it easier to shoot good pictures or crappy pictures.
Once, I asked a photographer what camera I should buy. He just told me something that stuck with me:
"The best camera that you can shoot with is the one that you have in your hand when that Kodak moment happens..."
Work within the limits of your equipment and you can achieve amazing results.
So I'll have to politely decline the "camera comparison is bogus" opinion.
