Which is which?

Cheryl, that was a very good exercise.

I have a Canon A550 PowerShot, 8MP P&S, which continues to amaze me with what it can produce.

I must admit, without sounding like I'm skiting, that I picked the difference first up. Better IQ, more DOF and generally a sharper image for the DSLR.

As you pointed out, unless you are a 'pixel peeper', the P & S can give you very acceptable results.

Maybe in the foreseeable future you won't have to cart around 4 or 5 Kgs of gear to get great shots.

Well done.

PS: I'm surprised you didn't have a comeback on the addition to my 'Sub-Continental Aphrodisiac" post.

I still don't get it

I picked the Canon shot from minute #1 ( soft, out of focus and suffering decentreing effects ) but never got around to posting my thoughts.

I picked them in the right order but I was too shy to post!

OK,I got it wrong - should have gone with DOF, although I think the "deliberate blurring" in the first set was cheating . Stupidly, I also assumed that the colours were straight OOC. Other than that, I can only agree with I@M

Nah ...... that's just the photographer!

Now, where did I say I wasn't cheating?!! Of course the colours were straight out of the camera ...... straight onto my PC and "calibrated"!

Woo Hoo ..... Thanks for the challenge Cheryl !

& for those who say they got it right but didn't comment ... do we really believe them ???
shyness is not an option for a photographer .... so dive in next time ppl

I'm a bit late but I would have said that the one on the left was the p & s because it loaded quicker on my screen. Does that make any sense at all to anybody else. The OP didn't say whether they ajusted the pic size or res to match each other.

Well that doesn't make sense, because they are both around 240-250kb! Can't explain that one I'm afraid!

As to size, I did mention in one of the posts that I'd resized them both to the same size!

My apologies I didn't read all the posts correctly. I have always wondered whether it is often better to take my S3is rather than the 50D when going out to take some pics. I'll have to take both in future.
