OT -Photography stuff

[scourge at cogeco.ca (Scourge)]

My current camera is basically the canon equivalent of that. I'm looking to
get a DSLR for sure, it's just a question of what will suite me best. I love
night photography, so I need something I can do several minute exposures
with, and not have an assload of grain. The S1 IS really sucks boner at
anything past 200ISO(and it's not that great there), so low light becomes
and issue when hand held. I like that Canon has some very affordable EF-S
lenses with image stabilization, and that's a big plus for me because I'm
not only lazy(don't really wanna bother with the tripod all the time) but
I'm a twitchy little f**ker, so camera shake can be an issue.
The S1 is an amazing camera, it just doesn't have all the bits pieces I want
in a camera.
