In a more general way, I notice that most people are too obsessed with the image quality of their camera(s) instead of setting store by quality of their pictures...

Very true. But then any pinhole box will do. I prefer a good tool.

In today's world, you can get wonderful photos from most any modern camera.  My experience and when remembering the earliest digital cameras, was that my first digital camera was horribly unimpressive and I hated it compared to my film cameras.

All that has changed for the better in the last decade or so.

So it helps to know what you're doing and you can get equally bad photo images with a cheap as well as with an expensive camera.  You can also get fantastic photos with both cheap and expensive cameras.  As they say, "It's what is behind the camera that matters most."

My recent camera purchases during the last 10 or so years has been exactly what you said:  It's about finding a good tool for YOU.  Some cameras have a better tool set than others.
