Cannon G11, supposed to have all functions of a real SLR? Been using the manual settings, pics come out pretty good I think.

maybe it's just me. but it doesn't look like SLR to me. And I have a DSLR camera.
I think the car woulda been a lot clearer, and the bg slightly blurry since the car would be the main focus.
but other than that, the pics are coo

Not bad but as srwong said not slr type quality. Overall you need some tire shine and a tripod....bc night shots tripod is deff necessary

Yeah the G11 lacks in picture quality. Still a point and shoot at heart but the shutter and ISO and zoom and what not is fun to play around with.

I actually have a tiny tripod, that's why the first picture was so close to the ground :bigthumb:

Would a telescopic or wide view lens help?

Tripods definitely make night shots easier to shoot, but sometimes are not always available. Having some nice glass (lens) that can open wide up, also shooting a higher iso will allow you to get away with out having a tripod on hand. My lens of choice for this is my fixed 50mm 1.4 prime lens. - Just my 2 cents

Alpha not bad photos at all, especially for a point and shoot. Best way is to just keep keep snapping off photos whenever you can, and shoot full manual.

i've had mine for almost a year now, and i love it! it's easy to work with, even for a beginner. it has an auto setting, or you can go more advanced and use the manual settings. even with the stock flash, it still takes great pics, as you've all seen. it takes a lil practice to get the hang of what to do to make the pic come out great. but well worth it. i would deff recommend it. :dblthumb:

'Rents are getting me a Canon SX30 IS for Hanukah- I looked at DSLRs, but figured that I could make do with a step down and a couple hours in GIMP. I'd worry about breaking the DSLR, too. Two features I fell in love with: histogram on the digital viewfinder, and a flash that requires you to manually flip it up to use it.

Flash is the enemy.

Waiting for it to get to the store from the factory. Sales guy said that, between their four stores, their warehouse had 84 backorders for this model. :ohno:

Just got my Canon Rebel T2i yesterday. It takes awesome pics and I like fidgeting with all the manual settings to get the best picture. The new nikon d3100 just came out and it's cheaper but still a good starter DSLR. Well it's your decision, just dont be a noob that buys a DSLR and only uses Auto.

Nice setup Srwong, you should try putting your pop-up flash into commander mode and use the flash off camera in remote mode for some really cool lighting effects. Running a similar set up with my D300s and Nikon SB900 and SB600

The only way I can make a flash do what I want the camera to do is to turn it on, but also decrease the shutter speed - after the flash has turned off, the extra time will let colored light get in...

...but now I need a tripod, too. >.<
