Thanks Sarah and Gary for the feedback! :)

The SD500 is turning out to be quite a capable little camera. I'm liking it more and more each day. Some people are trying to make it sound as if it's a piece of junk...but I think it's just fashionable for some people to knock new cameras (I'm also noticing this phenomenon with the XT/350D). But, as always, the proof is in the shooting! :)

i'm just wondering, am i the only one that sees her name as "speaklightly" instead of "speakinglightly"? seems like everywhere i go, people call her speakinglightly :p

Mr. Forgetable-

No, you are correct. My handle is indeed, speaklightly. However, Sarah is just fine. Today I will add another Canon G-6 flower close-up. I hope you all enjoy it and that you will have a great day!

Nice shot. The G6 produces such film-like results. That's one of the things that makes me love it.

I took this picture on the top cliffs of Llantwitt Major beach in south Wales a couple of weeks ago with my casio p-600.

camera settings are; Apeture priority, f/2.8, 1/800 sec and manual white balance.

Wow! Allan-

That is a very nice digital photo. It show what the P-600 is capable of doing.

These have all been great, but one thing - most of them I DO believe!
Here's one that real photographers may not believe so well- I used a Vivitar 24mm wide lens & a Vivitar 2x converter - this just happened to make quite a usefull macro lens. Shouldn't have worked really - hence this is a contender for the title.

Taken by Canon A80.

Lovely photo - very subtle and taken with my favourite camera, well it is the only one I have ;-). I like the way you have handled the exposure always so tricky with so much white.

Excellent photo - really well taken.
I like the way Canon cameras interpret the veiw.
Here's a thought: -
If every camera manufacturer were instructed to make a camera to a very presise specification so that each one did exactly the same - which make would you choose??
I haven't got one - but I reckon I would get a Canon...probably.
