Lil Gee is on the official get-thee-a-dslr-already campaign, he has paved the way for Cary, James and the Ganner. Over the week-end, I had a chance for this simple side by side  James' 40D  My SD630 Maybe this ain't the best example, however while his picture has better color (and it has no been enhanced with post processing, yet), the difference is negligible to me. Rather, the following illustrates the bigger problem     DSLRs are just damn hugeness. Again, the graf shots probably aren't a very good showcase for quality. I do know that about the DSLR quality, it's more about how each of us use our cameras Don't get me wrong, I'd love taking better pictures, but in a small form factor. It is at this point more about being ok with good enough pics (I do almost puke at the the recent Jimmy Eat World pics) More to keep in mind - Canon EOS 40D $1,300 - Canon PowerShot SD750 $222 (a presumably better update to my camera) - gory comps from dpreview If anything, something with Image Stabilization is a more sensible upgrade, the Canon PowerShot SD870 IS ($321) is looking hot with the 3in LCD. Also: SD950 IS ($399) and the older SD850 IS (only $275); more comps The current status is to keep the ol trusty SD630 until it completely dies (not soon enough).. it woulda been cool if Nikon picked SF for Picturetown (and to be chosen out of 200) Actually last year's Taiwan trip has some good pix to compare  mine  Lil Gee's Digital Rebel XT  Cary's Nikon D50 Nevermind, that was retarded Links - blog post 1/11/2006 - SLR dreamin'
