I'm sure I'm not the only one on here who only has a p+s and isn't able to upgrade to a dslr. I'm not sure how I'd feel about such an area. My first reaction was quite positive, it might be nice to have a section devoted to what I use, but then I thought, what if that makes me feel excluded from the rest of the site? I sometimes feel a bit like a second class citizen anyway, not that anyone is sniffy about it of course as this is a very friendly site, just that I'm aware that I'm in a minority. Most things I want to do can be done just fine with my Lumix, composition and pp, landscapes and close ups if not extreme macro, so there's plenty for me to get involved in here.
I think I'd maybe like a section in the equipment area for p+s where questions can be discussed like what can and can't be done with p+s and which ones have which features etc. and where some pix could be posted as well. But I'd not like to feel restricted from posting p+s pix in other areas coz that's all I'll ever have!
As for the exif, I don't know enough about cameras to know which is a dslr and which is a p+s anyway!
but for people who do understand that stuff I would hope it was sufficient and that us humble p+s'ers won't be isolated in some kind of ghetto!
And a p+s only assignment might be interesting, it might give people who use only p+s an advantage as dslr users would be less used to making the best of their limitations - but not as a comparison with a dslr for obvious reasons!!
