And BTW, here's one of my friends playing a gig at Mardi Gras this year.





Handheld (as are almost all my shots) 40D, 28-135, not sure of the focal length or other data without looking it up.

Shutter speed: 1/50 sec


Aperture: f/5


Focal length: 65mm

Probably you could not get this shot with a P&amp;S... on P&amp;S anything beyond ISO 200 is unusable and ISO 1600 I don't know howmany can support it even. This shot without a flash is probably way beyond the capalblity of any P&amp;S. I'm not sure about the newest P&amp;S like SX1 IS or G10 but I have used SX100 and sure they does not deserve even a comparison with a DSLR. Keep patience and continue enjoying phoytography.... [Y]
