Yeah, I know... basically if you're interested in getting into photography (maybe even professionally someday) then yes, get a DSLR, but you can't expect to be taking kick-butt photos on an XTi's auto mode.

What kind of camera do you currently have?

Check out these two articles:

IMO a high quality P&S camera such as the Canon S5 IS will take better photos on Auto mode then the XTi would.

Hmm... maybe, I've never used either cameras (I've used the XT though) so I don't really know how they compare... and I suppose considering that you have both you would know. That would be interesting to see how two images of the same exact thing (one taken with the XTi on full auto and one with the S5 IS on full auto) would compare... care to show us?

I have the Canon S3 IS and Canon XSi, so the difference is even more apparent. I will take an identical photo with both cameras on "Auto" mode, and then again on "P" mode.

Oh, I didn't know you upgraded, but it doesn't really matter... I'm gonna get a Nikon which is automatically better than any Canon.

Sounds good... thanks!
