Dante's View @ Death Valley. The polarizer spoiled it a little bit in the middle but I guess this could be corrected by some photo-editor...

Rebel XS, Potrait Mode. One of many at Joshua Tree National Park.

I posted two pics of full moon in the Photo Gallery. That was my first attempt at it and I would share my experiences

Using the 75-300 EF III Canon Lens... I took 31 shots out of which 25 were overexposed! But I got my first SLR...

That gives me approx 1/2 sec at the wide end (18mm)! Thanks for pointing it out, the shake is less prone at wide-end so that's another tip!

Whats the min shutter speed you think can be used without using a tripod... Next time when I visit that place.. I am trying ISO 1600. I guess I should be able to use 1/8 sec at that! Noise yeah.. but...

Both with two lens kit. Which kit is better? The price difference is only around 30 bucks.

Sony: 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 and 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Lenses

I just found this: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K and FZ28K but other suggestions are still welcome.

Last time I ended up buying a canon G6. But I am seriously needing a wide angle and a better zoom. Are there P&S cameras which go both wide angle and zoom. e.g. something like 28-280 (not too...
