Photograph and Camera talk

Hard to compare a compact to an DSLR… Any DSLR will give you an advantage as far as IQ is concerned because of the larger sensor.. But it can be tiring to lug around. If you don't mind that, go for it. I don't know about this specific Canon model, they have different designations over here in Europe. Hope I could help a little.

I have a T3i and I love it. The T2i is basically a T3i just without a swivel screen. Like holla said it is an upgrade from a compact camera and it can be annoying to carry around (although I don't mind). So what I like about this camera is that it takes exceptional quality images (I blame the lens for sub-par images), it is really easy to use once you get the hang of it and I can't really say anything bad about it.
The only thing I wish I would have done was save the extra $100 get the body and get a good first lens. Trust me but the kit lens is very limited if you start shooting certain things. It is good to experiment in what you want to photograph but after that once you find out what you like it doesn't satisfy enough (if that makes sense).

Just picked up a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens. Should be here some time next week!

Thanks holla and laxlife1234 for your responses the insight.
I am sort of out growing my G10 in shots that I want to take but just can't because of the limitation the G10 has lens and speed wise.
I know the lug factor as well as the price point on the lens' I am looking at but it should hopefully be well worth it with the added ability. Now to also start looking for a nice back pack

Unfortunately my camera broke (film, not digital). I took a picture and the shutter just never released. It is just stuck on the top >:| waste of $50

Hi all,
I was thinking of getting myself a new camera, I've been looking at the Canon S95, I'm certainly no expert so am just looking to upgrade from the cheap point and shoot Samsung that I currently own. So what I wanted to know is there any other cameras in the same price range that I should be considering or you would recommend? I'm just looking for a decent point and shoot nothing too technical and I don't want the hassle of a DSLR.
Any suggestions would be greatfully received. -
D97x7, I highly recommend the S95. It's perfect for what you are looking for in my opinion.

Cool/fun Lens….I had/sold it twice, I want a 1.4.
One of the first shots I snapped with a 50mm when I had my Canon Xti.........

A compact I wanna buy is the Sigma DP2…. Stunning image quality, APS-C sensor, tack sharp, but not very user friendly menus and not much automation either. Consensus is, you should be familiar with f-stops and exposure when buying this. But it is an interesting option, on german Ebay these can be had for about 250 Euros, if you are willing to go for an older non-S or non-X model.
You won't find many favorable reviews, because it's lacks in many departments that other compacts excel in. It's a love it or hate it camera, it seems:

Probably not the best for you. D97x7, but maybe you got a thing for quirky cameras.
