    I'd love to play with a DSLR, but I just can't justify it... I know how to set the manual settings, but for the cost of the cheapest one here, I could get a Sony DSC-WX1 that does great night shots, automatic panoramas, and most importantly, it's small enough I could have it on me when I need to take a picture.

    I'm not coming out against DSLR or anything, but for my uses... they're just so huge I'd never have it with me, and the price is so high I couldn't buy one for non-professional use.

    @fuchikoma: Heh, I've noticed that too about cameras. I can never be arsed to bring it with me. (I have a Panasonic-something-or-the-other better than your average compact camera but not as good as a DSLR making it pretty big, but not too big)

    @fuchikoma: most of us DSLR users have a P&S to go along. I take both on vacations, and the PS still gets plenty of use. But when you start looking at pictures from your trip when you get home, the DSLR advantages are quite clear and makes me wonder why I didnt lug the better camera around that day.

    But yes, the new Sony WX1 is quite amazing in low light and panoramics... havent seen 100% crops side by side tho, I just toyed with one at a friends house.

    @irfan: That would be ideal... but I'm not a photographer, so I'm afraid I can only drop $400 on a camera every 5 years or so.

    To me, I'd get a DSLR for more artistic effects like depth of field, very long exposures, bokeh, or HDR, but a while back a friend and I were comparing our cameras - he had some kind of 7MP Olympus DSLR and I had a 7MP Sony DSC-P150. In extreme darkness you could see the sensor noise on my camera, and he could just set a very long exposure, so that was a clear win for him if we were printing hi-res posters or competing in a photo competition.

    But ultimately, while he's very happy with it because he does make use of all the features, when we compare ordinary shots, his camera's pics look 3-5% better, but his camera cost about 220% as much before lenses. I'd love to have all the manual features he does, but I just can't pay that when I take about 50 shots a year and keep about half that many...

    I hooked up with a 500D (T1i) and I'm really happy with it. I'm with it right now on my office.

    I realize it's consumermas, so we're supposed to crowd into stores to buy new things.

    But the best entry-level DSLR is a used one Craigslist, because you can get a body and lens for under $300.

    Of course, if someone wants to buy me a T1i to replace my XT, I won't complain.

    If you're carrying a camera around your neck, you're doing it wrong.

    I couldn't really recommend the GorillaPod, you're better off with a monopod or real tripod.

    Point and shoots make great gifts too and are great for learning, Hell, Alex Majoli, a Magnum Photographer, created quite a few iconic photos using only a point and shoot superzoom camera.

    @Nathan Obbards: hope you're gonna say you should be carrying it on your shoulder, because no one that shoots pro uses a case.

    those Disgrace shoulder straps are awesome though, really makes a 300mm comfortable on a shoulder.

    @LolitaMalinky: I've heard mixed reviews about the Black Rapid straps. I've heard that their quick release parts have a penchant for breaking and dropping your camera. I've never had problems with a padded body strap, even with a 300mm f/2.8 on the body.

    @Purple Umpteenth: Definitely meant carrying it on your shoulder. That's the only way to go.

    @gstar: It gives you slower access to your camera(s), puts a lot of strain on your neck, gets in the way, can hinder your shooting, a slew of issues. By carrying it on your should you can eliminate most of them. Not only that, but you can often give yourself added stability by shortening the strap and pulling it tight against your arm/shoulder when you shoot.

    @matt buchanan: I worked with cameras for quite a few years. It really isn't that it's artsy or touristy, but ease of use and accessibility.

    @Nathan Obbards: long exposures of a river, where you want to be close to the surface, Also, how the juice are you supposed to hike with a tripod? Maybe if you're a pro a shoot, then you would want to set up the tripod, etc, but otherwise...

    That Kebab doesn't look so hot (not the picture, the food!)... You need to visit Dearborn I think.

    The number one downside is that the better the food the less likely they are to have beer, wine, or booze. That's why I normally go for lunch or carry out only.

    There used to be a descent spot (not the best, but not too bad) where you could drink, but the guy was sending money to Hezbollah and fled the country at which point the Feds seized the franchise...
