Guys.. is it possible to shoot beautiful pictures using a DC? Frm what i saw in the Photo Gallery most of them are using DSLR and rarely i can see any post frm a DC user.

Are DC only suitable for casual photography?
Im a DC user, i own a TZ-3. But i cant seem 2 find the right setting to shoot nice photos. Any advices?

dc cannot compare to dslr.....no matter how expensive it is..

Hmm from what i know .. nice photo is based on skills ... quality photo is based on camera ...

For example ... DC can get good compo pics .. but maybe not as sharp as DSLR

while,
DSLR can take super clear pcitures of bears with lens cap ... which has no meaning

So depends on what're you taking about hehe .. hope u get what i'm trying to say

Thx for the feedbacks.....
Well for me the reason i choose DC instead of DSLR bcoz its easier to handle n of coz compact.. i could get a D40 but its too big to carry along n since im a totall newbie i duno need to get wad lense for what occasion...

D40 is extremly small to most of the slr user.

no worries well i'm speaking based on experience only .. coz im like u also .. i juz got my dslr 2 weeks ago ..

For me .. photography and normal taking pics ( like outings , take pics of ur fren and all ) is 2 different thing .. photography u need time , or like you go out JUST for photography ... not like casual .. i go shopping .. see something nice then snap ..

If u're looking for easy and compact and casual .. i would say get DC

If u're serious into photography ... like me .. get DSLR It has alot of settings and stuff to play/combine with to take a good quality picture ... doesn't matter if ure a newbie .. i for one haven't touched camera before. .. i nvr had DC before .. straight into DSLR ... and i learn from website and ofcoz my gallery in the gallery section I'm happy that the pro's are willing to teach me here ...

So make your choice !! Photography u need time and dedication ... RM 2k - 3k is not an ammount u can play with .. unless ure rich

I bought my cam from ebay .. when it arrived i was like "holy crap" i got a fake camera ... it really feels like those "display" fake type of camera ... it's sort of plastic-ish =.=" very light ... but once u attach the lens .. then it will be better ... still very light for a DSLR imho

well, since you asked if it is possible to shoot beautiful pictures using a DC, then i guess the answer is YES!

Well, maybe a little PP will help to bring the colors out..
