I certainly agree with all above points...
Even with all of the new high-tech hocus pocus taking some skills out of the equation, such as being able to manually focus accurately, hold a camera steady and judge a proper exposure on intuition, composition and artistic sense are still required to take good photographs. I mean, over the years have you seen any decrease in the percentage of photographs that you see that are crap?
I think that, although easier, photography still takes skill and knowledge, maybe even more of the latter now as you really have to know your stuff to choose the right cameras and lenses, especially with all of the false advertising out there.
