Here’s some photos taken by the SX100is. Quality looks good and macro shots seem decent enough…
The entire range of tele / wide n macro lenses gathering dust, its such a waste that u r even considering a compact .. :no:
ok guys i am kindof a noob here in photography…i want to learn about photography ..what difference does a wide lens do ..aperture..iso and all the stuff
can u tell me any site wher i can read about it coz im really interested in it
the best site that i came across for learning about the camera is this
PhotoNotes.org especially the dictionary section
and see the videos here
I told you they are my dad’s and I wont be staying here for more than a few weeks. And its also not possible to carry lenses which are as long as my arm when fully extended.
Will try and post in the show-off section once I get my cam. 
@imoen - Yeah I saw that page while I was researching. And I am sure this camera is capable of much more using the right techniques.

I suggest that you start with all the aperture, focal length and depth of field tutorials. They will also touch upon ISO and how it affects your photography. Thats where it all starts.
