Around the corner ran the killer, with every step growing closer to you. What to do? He is about to slice you like a rabbit when he gets close enough. You quickly fumble in your bag for your weapon... The Nikon 990 mm tank destroyer. With this brilliant beast, you can level a house, sure enough this would turn the man about to murder you into something that your dog might eat for dinner from his bowl. Slowly you pull it out, and begin to boot it up, check your sites and if its just right, you might press the... slit / slice / sclap ... the sounds of metal on flesh grow louder as you fall to the ground. With a strong thud, the Nikon lands hard on your torn torso... things are getting dim... BUT WAIT!!! ITS SQUIDBALL!!! there he goes, rounding the corner... in a single motion pulling somthing from his pocket... it's the Canon s100 glock 9! Thwap Thwap... shots emit from the canon bursting through the killers knee, arm ... thwap shoulder, thwap thwap.. the canon continues to rattle off shots in the now hole filled body of the killer. Squid slowly approaches you, nodding his head at the Nikon and your sliced up body propped up on it. thwap thwap thwap, the last thing you see is the s100 capturing the last precious moment of your short life...

so kids...................................................................

.. but if the record of the event is anything like many I've seen with the S100 thwap-squasher you'll have a hard job seeing much detail of it - or do eyes like Wonderman go with it ?

I'm sorry, but if a murderer would come at me with a knife, I wouldn't use my CP 950 to take a Pulitzer price picture. I'd use the camera to crush the guys skull with. THEN I'd use the camera to take a shot of his dead body.

Either you are quite innovative, watch too much TV, or got bored on the Canon forum reading about the new G1 and the D30.

Those pics look nice when shrunk down to those miniature sizes... I can see how the speed of the camera comes into play too, all those buildings and building interiors sometimes are too fast moving to catch without having a camera that can really zip. The s100 ROCKS! I'm going go right out and buy one! Hehehe.

squidball, I went to your site and looked at all your pics, I liked 4 of them, but I did notice lack of shadow detail and alot of noise (especially in the sky area) it looks like you have some photographic talent but you are doing yourself a real disservice by using an inferior camera. I'm sorry but the 990 makes the s100 look sick, if you would have used the 990 maybe the statment you made:
"actully, most images that i shoot ..........look better than
most 95% of the CP pics i see posted at this site"
would have been true!!

your big expensive cameras
Click to expand...
Big, yes . . . relative to the S100 anyway. Of course one gets a lot in return . . . greater resolution, excellent macro, available accessory lenses, full manual control . . . it will take pictures that the S100 can not. But there's no question that the S100 is a marvel, and its tiny size encourages taking it to, and using it at, places where the 990 usually wouldn't go, at least without considerable hassle. Everyone here will acknowledge that sometimes convenience trumps quality . . . don't yourself make the mistake of not realizing that sometimes quality trumps convenience.

Expensive? The 990 costs maybe $150 more than the S100 . . . hardly an overwhelming difference, considering. Granted you can spend a lot more on 990 accessories, but that only accentuates the basic difference . . . you can do a lot more with a 990, too.

I'd love to have both . . . I've got a 990 because of the greater range and versitility. because of all the things it can do.

I'd have to second what David said in another post . . . you have a good eye for composition and can "see" an interesting shot. It's a shame you're not shooting with a higher resolution camera, but several of your S100 shots are quite nice. Spend your energy taking pictures . . . you don't get any points for juvenile "my camera is better than your camera" posturing . . . especially since nobody is arguing that the S100 isn't a nice little box.

I'm not sure that I would typlify the $900 CoolPix as expensive, nor the $500 Elph as inexpensive. However, you asked for pictures so here are a few I've done in the past year. Some, in theory, could have been done with another digital camera, such as the Elph, but others could only have been done with the CoolPix. That said, I agree with you that this is all about pictures and not one brand or model of camera being above or below another.











 
Good work Tyler...

looks like we got another Cybercat ladies and gentle man.

I admit the pics look nice from your s100 and all and yes about 95% of the people here dont have anything interesting to photograph.

take a look at the pics from the Nikon CP 990.

http://www.photoloft.com/view/Album.asp?s=jasc&a=661664&u=790612

Might not be as over staturated as your pics but I go for color accuracy.. if I wanted color saturation then I would of gone with the Sony DSC-S70.
