Hi, have just joined and am very new to all of this but this is the year I am getting a decent DSLR camera and learning as much as I can about photography - in the meantime I am just taking snaps with my little old digital Canon IXUS 75 - is anyone else out there the same or are the majority of 365'ers on DSLR cameras? Cheers
I have done my whole project so far with my Canon P&S camera. I know there are a lot of others out there too doing the same, so rest assured, you are not alone =)
I was using my DSLR for the most part but got a new non battery draining P&S for xmas so I didn't have to grumble about the quality of my phone cam.
I switch back and forth. sadly my new P&S doesn't have as much manual control as most of my older ones did, but it's still tons better than a iphone3 camera!
I switch back and forth all the time as well. When I have the time and I want to make a real artsy photo, I break out the big DSLR. But when I'm just on the road or enjoying a very active day with many exciting things to see, I'm not dragging a huge camerabag with me. But the P&S is always right there in my coat's pocket, ready for a quick snap of a fun moment or a nice scene. P&S cameras can be excellent landscape cameras I have found.
I love my P & S and will never get rid of it in favor of my DSLR - great for panoramas and on the run macro shots! as to which i use, it all depends on where i'm going and what i'm doing that day!
@twokids I have a Canon SX10 right now, and am debating if I should go DSLR. However, I like carrying my P&S on a daily basis more because it is less expensive... Something to thing about if it gets dropped.
