I appreciate it, I still need to upgrade equipment.

How much is a camera like that? Im wanting to get into photography.

My camera was purchased for about $120-$130ish new. It definitely is not the best and far from anything worth using unless you are skilled like myself. It really is limiting me and so I need to upgrade this joker!.

..... bit full of yourself, eh?

To jhadleyh:

The SD1000 is a good ultra-compact camera. Just remember that ultra-compact cameras have limitations that larger cameras are better at overcoming. Most notably:

-Limited image quality
-Very limited range for built in flash
-Poor low light performance
-Limited zoom range (usually 3x)

Man I wish I could take good pics like that.

I am not full of anything, I have used many camera's and know what is possible with better equipment. Personally I just am a little bit more into videography and would rather spend money on that right now. I was in no way trying to come off as some bada or anything I just know with an upgrade I could produce amazing photographs.

Also yes the point and shoots are not anything compared to a nice DSLR. However I equipped mine with CHDK and can have way more options than others.

• Save images in RAW format
• Ability to run "Scripts" to automate the camera
• Live histogram (RGB, blended, luminance and for each RGB channel)
• Zebra mode (blinking highlights and shadows to show over/under exposed areas)
• An "always on" full range Battery indicator
• Ability to turn off automatic dark-frame subtraction
• a higher compression movie mode, and double the maximum video file size
• exposure times as long as 65 seconds
• exposure times as little as 1/10,000 of a second
• ability to use the USB port for a remote trigger input

Not the same as your ordinary p&s!.

Rest assured, that using 3rd party firmware doesn't give the camera any new capabilities. You're still stuck with the same lens, same apertures and same image sensor

Any point & shoot with a full manual mode can do everything you listed (and more)

awesome pic!

That may be but I know with a better camera I am very capable of taking way better photographs. My point was not to start any sort of argument, I just have plenty of confidence in myself and what I am capable of. Nothing wrong with knowing you can do better.

No one is trying to start an argument with you. You are full of yourself (thats not an insult, its merely an observation) and a better camera won't automatically give you better results.

Nothing wrong with confidence, but the photo you put up isn't representative of the skills you claim to have. That's all I am getting at.

Ok, but like I said I know what I can do.

haha yeah I do not mind, I can understand maybe my post was just misread or possibly I am at fault for how I typed it?. Either way I appreciate all the post and everyone has been rep'd.

Thanks.
