Olympus Point and Shoot out performs DSLRs

Oh dear... The devotees of DSLRs and worshipers of EOS will be angry now.

A 4 year old (broken) P&S with a crappy 12x zoom lens that wobbles around
like a sausage and it still takes pictures like this.
http://www.douglasjames.com.au/captains-cabin.htm Fits in your pocket too!

Oh dear... It handles REDs and Yellows well too.

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?

The wobbling lens isn't a real issue -- the sensor wobbles along as part
of the lens module.

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

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

I find it amusing that you feel the need to put down an entire group of
owners with every post. Why are you so insecure?

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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