i am one of the proud P&S users here and from the start i disclosed that i am using one..i am very well aware that we are just a handful here but i really dont feel like a second class citizen..i admit that it is a lil bit intimidating to post head on with DSLR users but i've posted decent images from my P&S and i think they are well accepted and liked by fellow members..people here are nice and there is really no need to distinguish what gears are being used by anybody..we are here to learn and to grow as photographers and the gears used are just instruments to achieve that ultimate goal..
in the end..when life throws you lemons..suck it and find some tequila..(lol..you do get my point..)
