Mayavi, I am trying to understand your point by reading it again, but I don't understand. Quote:

Since the photo in question is a macro, how is wider lens helping in closer and cleaner macro? Doesn't wider lens push the object away? Shouldn't 18mm provide better macro than 6.3mm? Quote:

Canon has very low ISO noise, it is quite possible that the ISO50 on a small sensor P&S has more noise than ISO200 on Canon. Tanveer would love to comment on these things. Quote:

I don't deny that, that's one of the strengths of dSLR over P&S. Even birding is a major strength of dSLRs, never heard of using P&S for birding.
Listen, both P&S and dSLR have their strengths. P&S are cheaper, more portable, more versatile and can be used with less skill. But dSLRs are much more expensive, less portable, need different lenses for each application and need lot more skill to operate let alone take good photograph. In the hands of an expert, dSLR (with the right lens) will consistently give better results. But in the hands of a not-so-expert photographer, P&S might give better results.
I am not trying to argue P&S is superior to dSLR, I am only saying a good P&S can take extremely good photographs if the photographer is up to it. The real tragedy is that people ignore composition and blame/credit the camera for the photograph. Composition is way more important than the equipment or exif data. Upgrading to dSLR won't make my pictures better if my compositions suck, instead I'll end up with bad photos that are sharper.
When I see a great picture, I never ask which camera thereby insulting the photographer. Instead, I applaud the composition. |
