something that everybody hasn't asked you yet!... what kind of setup are you plugging this camera into?

Something that everybody hasn't mentioned to you yet is the dreaded NOISE component.! Unlike the SLR's noise in digital cams is exponential! If you are using it for short exposures then you'll be fine. but if not GAME OVER.

Ive said it before in another post, if you just want to take pretty pictures for personal gratification then sure a DSLR is great, if you actually want to take good photos to hang on your wall... DSLR = BAD. the only exception to this formula is when your using dslrs in zero degree ambient temperatures.

I currently use a 40d, and sure its great and has taken some bonza images but those images have been when its very cold allowing the camera to pick up the fine detail without the noise obliterating it.!

In my opinion, a good sbig/qhy/FLI camera and a decent little point and shoot is what you want to be looking at, unless you are really into your daytime photography. There isn't really a way around it.

Why would you put normal tires on a race car?
