PIXSurgeon posted his own work in a previous post. From what I have
red
on those forums, he never refused to post samples, especially when
comparison is concerned.

I meant works not samples or snaps ;)

That was just sarcasm anyway.

OK. I would rather like to see others' photos, from some posters who
even didn't post snaps. :-)

Selective focus has been a tool photographers have used for a very long time. There is truly nothing magical about it. A full frame sensor allows a photographer to use the technique using the same lenses that they had used before.

There are however many instances where more depth of field is what you need. The smaller sensors can often give you greater apparent depth of field.

It all boils down to using the right tool for the job. No single camera is ever going to be the solution for all shooting situations. No single lens is ever going to cover every situation the way you would want.

Id have to say if you shoot jpeg the images have some smoothing/ softness/ halo like sharpening. So i guess thats what they mean by 3d, The 1ds had very nice JPEGS, 5d jpegs look plastic. The only real solution is to shoot raw and the details are preserved

To recap, no i don't think the 1DS or 5D have a more "3Dish" look
than the 1D2 or any APS-C body and i stand by my opinion.

I do have to disagree here. The control over DOF makes seperation of subject and BG much easier to accomplish with the 5 vs. an APS-C chip. I have and do shoot them all. This is especially true when in confined spaces where one cannot relly on focal lenth to help with seperation. I am not using the word "magical" here, but easier yes.

Thanks Lawrence.

I shot RAW, AWB and processed in ACR. I may have tweaked the WB at that time, but can't remember having any difficulties. Yes, that is the color of that tulip.

Lovely images as usual Melanie, the purple flower turned out well,
I did a wedding a few weeks ago and the bridesmaids wore purple
dresses, but when I was photographing them they looked blue on my
lcd screen, I was sweating I can tell you, lol. when I looked at
them on my computer the purple was back, although not as rich as I
saw with my eyes, do you do anything special to get the correct
shade of purple? or was the flower that colour?, you don't tend to
see a lot of purple in posted shots.

Regards, Lawrence

you be willing to post some of the best images you have captured
with a P&S camera? That way, given the same photographer, we can
see the difference that the equipment makes. Thanks.

OK. Here are a few:

I had to do a lot of work to get the BG smooth / out of focus.

I think this was with a MInolta Dimage 7

These are stunning images indeed. Please note that it's not the
camera+lens that took them but the photographer. A good
photographer will make stunning photos with a P&S as well.

Now that Melanie has also posted some P&S images captured by her, I would love to hear from both of you what you think of those. I think the difference is noticeable but not drastic.

about any one DSLR holding the corner on the so called 3d effect. I
think there's more to it than brand or model.

I agree. It's a combination of depth of field, lighting conditions and environment. Somehow I like those D2h shots more than the Fuji S2 and D2X. :)
