That's awesome that you know Don, this picture is one of my favorite cycling pictures I've ever seen:

Comparing a PowerShot G series pro-sumer point and shoot to a SLR is comparing apples and oranges.

Here's the timing I had with SLRs

The ball-on-bat photo is one of the toughest in sports photography. One of the most rare is the broken bat. I got both :)

Oh, and this wasn't done with rapid fire 8fps shooting. 8fps isn't fast enough to catch this. Single shot is the only way.

EDIT:
I could almost get a ball on bat photo at will (assuming the batter made contact, haha). Here's another:

I want this picture as a poster. Awesome shot!

so im thinking about upgrading my current camera (e-p1) to a entry-mid level dslr. i was thinking about going with a d90 and a 50mm f1.8 lens. anyone have experience with this camera? anyone have suggestions? my budget is around 900 bucks.

I would go with Canon just for their wider range of lenses. A Canon 50D is pretty much a Nikon D90 equivalent.

went on a ride with evil and a buddy to go shoot around industrial sites around my area a couple weeks back

D90 + 50mm 1.8

Great choice, the D90 is an amazing camera. I would suggest that you get the 35mm 1.8 instead of the 50 though.

so i traded the madison i owned for a nikon d3100! i think its a pretty good trade considering the fact that the bike just sat and was never really ridden. next up is a 35mm prime! whats do you guys think of the d3100?

having a camera (on my phone) makes me a photographer right?

here's a cellphone photo I am actually a little proud of. Nothing that special though

I own a D300 and a 17-50 2.8, a 35 1.8, and a few flashes. Sold everything else as I stopped shooting a bunch. Some pictures I took a while back:

I have a Canon Rebel Xsi with Canon 50mm f/1.8 and Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L. I haven't taken many bike photos, but my shots can be found at http://flickr.com/drewshannon or http://drewshannon.net

Loving my fuji x100

yesterday

Awesome shots. I'm casually toying around with the idea of trading my DSLR & Canon L lens for a really nice compact camera, just because the fact that my DSLR is so bulky sometimes prohibits me from taking it out and about.

Thanks, I sold a bunch of gear to get my x100 and I don't regret it one bit. My stuff was just sitting around. The x100 can be taken pretty much everywhere and its so small and discrete. I still have a nikon d300s with some lenses but I when im going somewhere I always grab the fuji. I still use the d300s for professional stuff.

Yeah man, I hear ya. I can pretty much straight-up trade my Canon 24-70 lens for an X100, but I know I'd probably regret it because that lens will have more resale value down the line. That said, I'm a total amateur and my DSLR ends up sitting in my bag most days because it's so big (I have battery grip and heavy lens). If I was going out with friends, for example, it'd be cool to have something like the X100 for high-quality shots in a small package.

Oh well, we'll see. Maybe I'll just start saving up some dough so I can get the X100 down the line.
