the camera is just a tool, its the person holding it who takes the photo. Ive seen some pretty amazing shots taken with a disposable, its all about knowing how to use what youve got.
great shots mrt, I like the first one particularly.
True, people need to get out and use their cameras to take photos, lots of them, and think of what they are photographing, how it will look, direction, positioning.
A superzoom bridge camera, like the Fuji S5600 or Panasonic fz20, is quite capable of putting out photographs of a similar quality to an SLR. In most cases its what you do with it rather than what you have.
