pardon me for saying, but most modern (newer) Point & shoot cameras are hardly "crummy". they are just, well, compact...

This wasn't entered in a Challenge, but I think it's a pretty darn good photo and the technical quality is good enough to have won. The photographer isn't good enough to win a ribbon though ;) This was taken with a Kodak 5MP camera that you can get used on Ebay now for about 30 bucks.

| I really wanted to get a ribbon with my cellphone camera just to make a point but unfortunately it doesn't have exif data. seriously, it's not about the camera people, especially for the small sizes we put up on the web. |

It is possible to win ribbons with any camera. But having the correct equipment can give you a better chance in many genres and that's why people spend thousands of dollars on bodies and lenses.
Being able to pick and choose lenses is a huge advantage over the majority of pocket-cameras. In trying to use my wife's new point and shoot, I had a heck of a time getting focus in any circumstances where there wasn't a great deal of contrast. Many of these cameras don't have any type of manual focus. There are manual settings on some of them but many are very limited. Adding a lens or filter might be an option, on some but not all. I know it IS about the photogrpaher, but good luck getting shots with details and sharpness like this with a point-and-shoot:   |

Yes - at first i thought this was a point and shoot ;) but it was "shot with [his] new Canon Rebel XTI camera with a 100-400 Canon zoom lens."Originally posted by metatate:
