think of it like this. When Ernst Haas uses the word "see" it also covers the imagination. |

Yes, all of them can record what you are seeing. And yes...you must have the ability to SEE. But if you don't have a quality camera to accurately record what you are SEEING, then you're not going to capture the quality AS YOU SEE IT.
Although it shoots a decent quickie snapshot, I wouldn't take my old Sony Ericsson 3mP cell phone cam to a shoot and leave my Nikon d80 at home.
I'd modify Haas's quote to say "Although the camera DOES make a difference, you must have the ability to SEE."
Just like the old computing axiom - "Garbage in...garbage out."
