Absolutely. I will take much better pictures with my D70s and Sb-800 than with any consumer point and shoot. But, with the right light (try camera on night mode and use a hand-held manually triggered flash bounced off a wall for example)- I can take very nice photos with a cheap camera too.
Good photography requires someone who knows how to make a good image. If I took the average unskilled consumer and swapped cameras, I am confident I would still make far nicer images with their p&s than they could with all of my gear.
Btw, I've shot some women who were quite "ugly" by many standards and made them look good (in their own way). You can't make a 40-year-old plumper into a nubile- but you can make them look like an attractive bbw milf or a strict dominatrix. This is a LOT more about the skill of the photog than the gear.
