Australian Photography Forum isn't bad.
Photo forums can be one of two things; either full of punters or elitist snobs. This has a good mix of both I feel.
Good diversity of brands too.

At such a smiliar price, what exactly is the advantage of buying a G11 over a 1000D?They are all very quick to jump on the G11 bandwagon
Is it really justified? Is it really a better camera than the G9? Let's see what they say....
It seems wierd, at least if you buy an 1000D, being an SLR you actually can be buying lens's, flashes etc in the future for it where as if you buy the G11... that's it sort of thing? I do however like how cheap the underwater case for it is haha.
I don't see the point of the g11 when the s90 is almost exactly the same but it's 'slip in your pocket' compact and it's a stop faster at f.2. If you are going to compromise sensor size/lenses/flash etc for the compact size it may as well be really compact.
oh yeah and i have an s90 and it's such a fun, versatile, mini camera...
couple of shots from meredith last year i liked...
I like it Drew. Looks the goods for a throw away.

The photo quality of compact cameras has come a long way in the last few years.. For reduced web images and 6 x 4 prints you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between an SLR and good compact shot.
maxwolfie, still reckon you should get an SLR, it'll teach you alot and you'll have more fun shooting..

Amazing lights there, man! Regardless of how much processing you've done I think it looks great! The line of shadow on her cheek is a bit off putting, so if you moved that flash on the right a bit closer to you it might have been nicer. Either way, this photo is a winner !

^^^ Love the washed out sunlight in the second shot. Very 70's!

Well, I invested on a tripod and went down to Phillip Island for a surf on Monday. Surf was a bit big for me though so it was a good thing I'd taken the camera along!
The tripod was such a great help and at 49 bucks a bit of a bargain (cheers for the heads-up Hux!)
Would maybe like to draw out a bit more colour from the shots though but not sure how to go about that. Any ideas?

I've got Photoshop Elements which I've found can do almost all manner of funky shit but I'm not expert enough in it to adjust the colours without making it noticeable. I also like the idea of being able to produce ace shots with the camera alone (like wot they did in the olden days and that)

The reality is that you can only do so much with the camera. Post processing is all part of the 'digital era'. If you can get elements like composition, depth of field and lighting right in camera, then you don't have quite as much work cut out for your when it comes to editing.
Additionally, I guess we are all a bit more critical of photography as we are no longer viewing photos as 6x4 but on 24" monitors @ 100%
I exclusively use Lightroom which, in my mind simplifies processing greatly. Not a bad thing but you don't nearly have as much control as Photoshop (which I also use for touch ups and more detailed work).
