debating the digital slr

When I was debating this summer about what camera to upgrade to, my first thought was that I wanted a digital SLR. After playing with one at B&H and weighing the cost, I ultimately decided that, in addition to the higher cost, the digital SLR (I’d been looking at a Canon 20D) was “too much camera” for what I want to do right now. I ended up buying a Canon Powershot S2 IS, a lower-end camera, which I’ve been very happy with so far.

On Flickr today, I found a great discussion thread comparing the features of a S2 IS to a digital SLR. In addition to clarifying what each camera does particularly well, the responses in this thread should also be a good reference for when I decide to upgrade my camera again (which likely won’t be for another couple years).
