Generally, yes, if the equipment determines the IQ. It's a matter of technological progress. My first serious digicam had a 2 megapixel sensor and showed appreciable noise if shooting at ISO 200. These days I use 10-12 megapixel P&S cameras which let me shoot at very high ISOs and achieve usable results.

It's a matter of time. Comparing a 2002 digicam to a 2012 model, great strides have been made. Comparisons over a shorter time like 2010 to 2012 show smaller differences; but differences there are.
