Also, if memory serves the captains-cabin pic was posted by D-Mac
a year or two ago. At that time he claimed it was a stitched pano.


Despite the troll's claims that it was taken with an Olympus C670...

....and despite him trying to wipe the EXIF data on 15 Nov 07...

....the idiot didn't cover up all his digital footsteps.

It was actually taken with his Panasonic.

Broken links, at the moment. (Which is probably a good thing.)

Using professional web-hosting for these sites, OP? Maybe you should
ask for your money back.

Those links have worked every time I've tried them. Using a reliable
Internet connection are you? Maybe you should ask for your money back.

Nice pictures. But no surprise -- better P&S cameras can produce superb
images. But then pretty much any decent camera can produce superb
images. What matters is the photographer, not the camera. Perhaps
that's why inexperienced DSLR owners try to make such a big issue of
their cameras?

It's been said before and it's worth saying again....

It's just simply inexperienced "P'n'S Envy".

A wee bit insecure and defensive are we?

The DSLR fools can dish it out, but they can't take it, eh?

Why must this group be so competitive? It used to be the "film
forever" folks vs the "digital is the only way to go" folks. Now it
is DSLR vs P & S! Sort of leaves rangefinder folks out in the cold,
though.

It comes from childish mine-is-better bragging by DSLR advocates who
feel the need to feed their egos by putting down non-DSLRs and those who
use them at every opportunity, like wearing a (fake) Rolex to be more
cool.

They'll criticize any non-DSLR image, even when actually not; i.e.,
ringers taken with DSLR and faked as having been taken with non-DSLR (to
expose their silliness for what it is).

BTW, we own both a DSLR and a digital P & S.

What matters is not what you have, but what you do with it.

If you ever get the first link going make sure you have your sunglasses
on. The whites are pretty bright.

Second link has a hot blonde and some guy pretending he is in cool
runnings.

I would never admit to taking that pic in the first link. To put it mildly,
I think it sucks.

Just because you think it was taken with a P&S.
Thanks for proving my point.

That's a serious charge, but hard to take seriously given without
anything concrete to back it up.

You do realise there's no such animal as an Olympus C670?
You actually have an image from an Olympus 760UZ and it was x10 zoom, not
x12.

I had the similar (same sensor, same lens) but earlier C750UZ and yes it
could turn out a very nice image, still can in fact, but I see the same
problems (blue fringing, blown out highlights) in your image that made me
decide to get a DSLR last year as I wanted (and got) better quality. There
are better P&S cameras around now though that make the IQ comparison a
closer thing in good light anyway.

I'm sorry, but to reveal the specifics in public would merely inform
the troll as to how he slipped up, which would then allow him to make
a better forgery the next time.

If you have the tools, ability and interest, simply go do the
forensics yourself.

Well! Whoopie!!!!

The black ban on you and the range of IPs your ISP uses for your node of

I think that was taken near Margie's House of Pain.

It is a stiched Pano... From an Olympus C670.
You have a problem with that?
