I'm not sure if this has been covered in the thread yet, but I'm gonn sorta disagree here. Another HUGE benifit is the quality of the sensor and software built into the camera. The more expensive cameras have better quality and that makes a tremendous difference in the end result. It's not just lenses.

Additionally, if you can afford quality lenses, zoom lenses are the shit.
