It's a 5MP Fujifilm F470 PnS. Took a lot of patience haha

Very nice, mind if i make one into a wallpaper?
Nice pics indeed Umar, just goes to show what a half decent camera and a bit of post production can do
You don't necessarily need 10's of millions of pixels to take a good pic.

Fuji's are a lot better than most people give them credit for.
both shots are really crisp. in the first one, what did you do in PP? the contrast and sharpness look spot on. nice variation in the lighting too. if some of the leaves weren't yellowing/browning it would be perfect.
love the macro and colours on the second

I think you're right. This point and shoot is actually the best camera I've ever owned, so it really is a luxury for me. I can't imagine what I'd do if I got a DSLR. Probably dieNice pics indeed Umar, just goes to show what a half decent camera and a bit of post production can do

Supers pics! Really like them a lot.
It's been said time and time again, anything over anything over 5-6 MP is wasted unless you're printing @ > A3 size. even then, good optics are more important...

Depends what you want to do, if you like the macro type stuff stick with what you got mate, it obviously works well for you.I think you're right.

Me i like more wild life type photography so i need more powerful lenses which compacts / bridge cameras aren't as suited for, one of the reasons i went to DSLR.
I started with my old mans Fuji bridge camera and it was all down hill from there, i am currently saving for a 100-400mm lense, which aint cheap so stick to your little camera as DSLR's get expensive lol.

what photoshop settings did you apply?

love the macro and colours on the secondThanks Mr Grapes, I didn't see your reply in between there! Both pictures are completely real all I did was adjust the contrast/brightness and colour balance. But I did it to varying degrees to different parts of the image to highlight foreground items and darken background bits. Quite a lot of them are subtle changes.

I use a FujiFilm FinePix A825, and have said it before: You don't need a big, expensive camera to take good photos. All you need is the right opportunity, a keen eye, and a steady hand. And a camera, obviously.
Like so:
No Photoshopping applied at all.

True enough if using the whole pic but more pixels are useful if doing some heavy cropping if, for example, the subject is quite far away and only fill half the frame.

unless the MP increase is at the expense of higher sensor noise, in which case cropping will highlight the noise... especially true in P&S's with fingernail sized sensors pushing 10-13 MP...
(does not necessarily apply to APS-C or above sized sensors natch...)
