which is more important?

Even to create the tools you need skill.

Skill

Only skill can take proper advantage of the possibilities of a tool.

As a currently proud member of the non-SLR club - I am very happy with the F828. I've got a 28-200 lens straight out of the kit - more range and sharper than the 18-55 Canon that comes with the closest equivalent Canon. There are some flaws in the 828, it's no perfect camera, but even the 1DS users have some complaints. The only reason I would upgrade to an SLR is for the extra flexibilty of high ISO without so much noise, not really for lenses, though a tiny bit more width wouldn't hurt. If I was actually earning money from my camera which hopefully I will do in the not-too distant future, I may think about an SLR, but it would be a full 1:1 crop frame which is currently out of my price league. I like infrared photography and while some of the Olympus cameras are touted as the best for this, the Sony has a freakishly cool nightshot mode, which coupled with a Hoya R72 is some awesome gear. The tilt LCD lets you take advantage of my taller-than-me tripod, and the aperture is good across the zoom range. JJBeguin is a a great photographer using a tool which in his hands is shown to be more than a crappy point and shoot as some on this site would like to easily categorise it.

Tools - just buy the most expensive stuff and you can just let it do everything. No need to even press the button - it searches for the best approach, angle, composition, DOF, exposure, and even takes the picture for you!

The tool doesn't make the man.
It makes the man all that he can be.

Poor skill + poor tools = poor result
Poor skill + good tools = mediocre results
Good skill + poor tools = good results
Good skill + good tools = excellent results

Therefore I would say skill matters more than tools, but tools still have some value.
