Ok, i have seen some incredible dSLR photos on the web.


I have yet to see a mind-blowing point and shoot photo gallery.

�Does
anyone have a great link?


Mind you, i have pretty much decided to order the Canon 40d tomorrow.


But if i wake up tomorrow, and find something incredible that was
done with a P&S, you can bet that i will re-consider.....

What kind of photos that you want to take? �There are some decent
galleries which utilized Sony DSC R1 Point and shoot cameras. Try this
one.http://www.pbase.com/tylim/root
Hope that this helps you.


Â* Â* Some nice photos for sure. Â*But the DSCR1 goes
for about $1300. Â*I ain't going to be saving much money there, and i
wouldn't really call this DSCR1 a simple "point and shot" either. Â*Seems
to be a nice lens there.


What about this one then?http://www.weddingsnportraits.com.au...scott-katrina/

Shot entirely with a Panasonic FZ50 (after my shooter dropped the s5)


Not bad. But not mind-blowing.

Here's my theory:

The reason there are a greater number
of high quality pics taken with dSLR, is because
the better, more professional (or completely pro)photographers end up
getting the highest quality
cameras they can. And so perhaps even more than
the technical quality of the equipment, then simple
have better eyes and instincts for good composition,
lighting, and DOF, etc.
