I think this comes back to that age old question again "What is a good picture?", everyones opinions will differ.
Certainly you may need to understand the basic principles of using the camera and composition but after that it's very much dependant on the subject and who's viewing it.
My avatar was taken using a fuji s7000, a larger version can be seen in my gallery - I like it, I like the detail, the tone and the subject therefore to me it's a good picture, others may quit rightly disagree. However this picture was contrived, I set it up in my back garden and could have been taken on an even less sophisticated camera and still produced a good picture - in my opinion!
In contrast I bought my 14 year old son a digital camera for Christmas - he used it to take a few shots (snaps) of the family and I consider some of them to be good pictures also.
