What a great example of how the photographer can be fundamentally more important than the camera itself. This year's [URL="http://www.bbccountryfilemagazine.com/photographic-competition"]BBC Countryfile photographic competition[/URL] was won by Pen Rashbash, her photo voted top by BBC Countryfile viewers was taken in the depths of winter while rescuing sheep from drifting snow. Her camera? A battered three year old digital compact camera.
There is a second 'winning' photo chosen by the members of the programme team and this was a macro shot of a dragon fly basking on some old poppy seed heads against the sun. My understanding is that this shot was taken with a Fujifilm FinePix bridge camera. So that's 2-0 to the non-DSLRs!
It's not necessarily what you use but how you use it!
