Are you really going to let my entry taken with a compact beat out your 40D shot?

In your dreams, maybe! (I am a little worried though...) |

Lets see... 7 out of the top 15 pictures taken with the Powershot S5 IS are mine, and if this one does not drop any, it will be #8. I'd say I do pretty well with this little camera.
Worry. |

I've been around DPC for over 3 years, but only recently started submitting to the challenges. Not doing great, but not doing terrible either. I'm trying to get a feel for what people like yet still stay true to my own taste. Quick frankly none of the pictures I've submitted so far actually show my style or what I normally shoot etc. Eventually I will post some non challenge entries to my portfolio.
Why am I bringing this up? I say it because the camera I use it my beloved Canon S5 IS like yours Yo_Spiff (I know your DSLR is broken at the moment). I truly don't see the S5 as a little camera. Compared to the DSLR's with high end lens etc. sure...but the S5 has a ton of the features found on these higher end cameras yet it doesn't break the bank. For the looks, features and quality people would be hard pressed to find a camera made in the last couple of years that beats it across the board.
I'm saving up for either the new T1i (500D) or more likely the Canon 50D. Until then...and even afterward I will continue to use my gem of a camera in the S5. I obviously know you appreciate yours as much as I do mine, and I think it's great that you're back to using it for the time being. I've looked at your pics shot in the past with it, and you've done very well. I too noticed that most of the higher ranked pics were taken by you. Great job.
With that said...no one has ever won a ribbon on DPC using the Canon S5 IS although you have come VERY close. My short term goals on here are 1) To continue to feel out the voters and learn what they are looking for to improve my scores 2) To make the top 10 3) to take at least the yellow ribbon 4)and to be the first person to win a ribbon of any kind with the Canon S5 IS.
So Yo_Spiff...keep that S5 handy because you have at least one other person trying to achieve what you were aiming at for quite some time. :) You have much more experience on here compared to myself, but this could be fun!

Looking forward to seeing you knock some of my shots off the S5 page! I suppose I will just have to use it more frequently, even after I get the rebel fixed!
I called Canon today and the part I need to fix the Rebel was only $21, including the shipping charges. |

Wow, $21 dollars to fix the Rebel..that's great! I definitely do hope you use the S5 from time to time in future challenges. Someone needs to keep me on my toes. LOL. As for knocking some of your pics off the S5 page...well that's definitely the point of all this as you well know. It's all in fun, but I think you're safe for now. :) |

Has any ribbon been won with a non-DSLR camera?

Yep, plenty of non-SLR ribbon winners. I even have one...
And here is a recent one from paulbtlw with an iPhone
