Pixels make little difference in the low end market, What makes a bigger difference is the processor they use in the camera and how it processes the image (noise and colour saturation is a big image quality killer). On cheaper consumer grade DSLR's most people would not be able to tell the difference with a cheap and expensive lens....... Most cheap lenses are OK in the middle of the focal range, some cheap lenses will distort the image and colour at the start and end of their focal range.
Full frame and processing power is the main thing that makes professional images look so good....... Plus experience, big memory cards and a bit of photoshop.
Buying a $600 body and using a $2000 lens will not make it a professional quality outfit nor will buying a professional camera and lens...... But a good body and OK lens will.
For me on my canon 5D I use a Tamron 18-270 lens for travelling due to the convenience of not having to change lenses all the time...... If in dust I use a Canon 70-200 IS due to being dust and water proof and for other photos my other L series lenses.
Learning how to use the camera and how to take photo's is more important then camera bodies and lenses.
