Don't Need a DSLR Camera to Take Great Pictures

For the last 6 months, I have been looking at DSLR cameras. I wanted to upgrade to one because I wanted to have higher quality pictures. After doing research, the cheapest decent camera will cost $500 U.S. dollars and that does not include various lens and other important accessories that I may need. Then I noticed, I have great pictures for someone who does not use a DSLR.

I learned how to use my camera that I have owned for the last 2 years. It took me sometime to figure out what are the best setting for my camera but it was worth it.

When I got Photoshop, it did wonders. I could now fix the levels and color balance of my pictures. The was this how-to-guide on fixing bad lighting in Photoshop, its awesome.
